WonderPack puts the A back in STEAM by including Sketch Kit, the harness and marker which turn the award-winning Dash Robot into a drawing machine. Also included are a Launcher, the Gripper Building Kit, and a pair of Building Brick Connectors - it's the perfect way to get the full suite of accessories!

An internet connection is not required when using the apps on a mobile device, like an iPad or Android tablet. An internet connection is required to download and install the apps and to use Blockly for the web on a laptop.


In an educational setting, consider Make Wonder Classroom with Wonder Packs, which includes 2 Wonder Packs bundled with a 12-month Subscription to Make Wonder Classroom, our digital platform for 1 teacher and 35 students, with curriculum, a Virtual Dash robot inside of Blockly, progress tracking, and more.


We use Dash and Dot robots all the time in technology class! Lately, the kids have been using math skills to code the robots around obstacles and are having a blast! Thank you for a wonderful product!!


Added another dash to my robot family! I was looking to add a 3rd robot to my personal robot/stem resources I have in my classroom. My other 2 dash robots have been a hit so it was a no-brainer to add a 3rd to my collection!


I am a 2nd grade teacher and we just got our sketch kit! My kiddos love using it to draw shapes and paths for Dash. I could see us using it during our maps unit, measuring, shapes, and could even use it to help retell a story. It's very easy to use and the clean up is SOOOO easy!


I am an Instructional Technology Coach for my district and help teachers implement STEAM activities. This Sketch pack far exceeded my expectations. Not only does the A in STEAM become relevant, there is a LOT of opportunities for students to create and not just be consumers. I loved how my students have to work collaboratively and problem solve!

Your article is beautiful and timely, as we are starting a moth watching group this spring in North Idaho. Thank you for pointing us to this wonder! As a girl, I had an old Dover Publications copy of The Moth Book. For a few years, I wrote the "first" date of seeing my local favorite (with orange underwings) from our family's hardwood forest in PA. Years later I returned to our property for just one more year. I saw my childhood friend-moth on a night in early summer. I found my yellowed moth book, with my penciled notes. My friend-moth showed up, clinging to the brick wall near the porch light, nearly at the same date as in years before. I wonder now--10 years later--are they still there? Has their timing changed? I don't live in my precious childhood forest. I wonder if my moth friends do.


This is partly because of their place in the food chain. Moth larvae eat a wide range of plants: some are generalists, and their Very Hungry Caterpillars will eat many sorts of leaf; some are specialists, which does not always work to their advantage (the rare white spot, for example, will only eat a form of campion called Nottingham catchfly). Some micromoth larvae feed on fungi, algae, mosses, or lichen; others feed on decaying plant or animal materials. A cousin of the clothes moth feeds on moldy corks in wine cellars; another is found in fox excrement (this moth is horribly common in my garden). There is even one moth, the wax moth, whose larvae can consume and digest plastic bags, though its preferred food is the wax in honeycombs.


A wide range of moths indicates a wide range of plants, which they help to pollinate, and a good diversity of habitats. Moths and their larvae are consumed as well as being consumers. They are important food for birds, bats, hedgehogs, frogs, toads, lizards, and insects such as spiders, wasps, hornets, and beetles. At the height of their breeding season, great tits and blue tits in the United Kingdom feed an estimated two billion caterpillars to their nestlings every day. And those harassed parents have to eat too.


The fragility of moths makes them particularly valuable to ecologists as indicators of the health of our ecosystems. They are like canaries in a mine, the first to suffer. Moths are particularly susceptible to pollution of all kinds: water pollution, air pollution, chemical pollution, and light pollution.


Water pollution affects the moths that live beside our rivers and streams. There are specialist species whose larvae live below the surface of the water in ponds, marshes, and slow-moving rivers. The larvae of the China-mark family, for example, feed on water plants and build underwater cases out of fragments of leaf.


Air pollution is devastating for moth diversity. Many moths feed upon lichens, which are among the first organisms to suffer from pollution. A lichen is made up of a fungus cohabiting in a symbiotic relationship with green algae, or cyanobacteria, or both, which can photosynthesize the sugars that their fungus host cannot. But these composite organisms have no roots or protective skin, and they absorb moisture and air directly through their surfaces, making them highly sensitive to air pollution. Sulphur dioxide is among the worst pollutants, produced by coal-burning; nitrogen dioxide is produced by cars but also by agricultural fertilizers and livestock waste. Both dissolve in water to produce acid rain.


Most of the lichen-eating moths are micros, logged only by nerds like me, but the fortunes of the conspicuous lichen-eating footman family are readily tracked by amateur recorders, with hugely cheering results.


Urbanization is still on the rise, however; habitats are being irrevocably destroyed, and many insect populations are in swift decline. The species-rich habitats that do remain are increasingly patchy, and their populations are correspondingly vulnerable because they live on small and isolated islands in a sea of ecological desolation.


A crucial factor for biodiversity is not just the variety of these patches, but their interconnectivity: even small populations have greater resilience when movement between them is possible. I am lucky here, because the River Dudwell forms a superb wildlife corridor. Rare moths that breed only on shingle beaches regularly find their way to Etchingham from Rye, coming up the River Rother and turning left into the Dudwell. These have included such Nationally Scarce species as Neofriseria peliella, Pediasia contaminella, Platytes alpinella, Ancylosis oblitella, Scrobipalpa ocellatella, and Oncocera semirubella. I also gather a fine array of migrants: new breeding species are colonizing all the time. Lepidopterists must be the only internet group to celebrate both migrants and colonization!


English contains many words related to this multifarious emotion. At the mild end of the spectrum, we talk about things being marvellous. More intense episodes might be described as stunning or astonishing. At the extreme, we find experiences of awe and the sublime. These terms seem to refer to the same affect at different levels of intensity, just as anger progresses from mild irritation to violent fury, and sadness ranges from wistfulness to abject despair.


Atheist that I am, it took some time for me to realise that I am a spiritual person. I regularly go to museums to stand in mute reverence before the artworks that I admire. Recently, I have been conducting psychological studies with Angelika Seidel, my collaborator at the City University of New York (CUNY), to explore this kind of emotional spell.


Art, science and religion appear to be uniquely human institutions. This suggests that wonder has a bearing on human uniqueness as such, which in turn raises questions about its origins. Did wonder evolve? Are we the only creatures who experience it?
