M.A.X. has unveiled two robotic toys, the MeccaSpider and Meccano, which aim to enhance STEM learning for children. The MeccaSpider is fitted with an infra-red sensor to detect movement and obstacles, and can move around and spray water on command. The Meccano model is conceived as a build-it-yourself robotic companion that can develop a relationship with a child over time. Both models use Bluetooth to connect to companion apps that allow kids to experiment with drag and drop programming. MeccaSpider will be priced at £99.99 and Meccano at £149.99 and both go on sale in August.
