Tinker Orbits Programming!

Tinker Orbits is a fun, interactive, and visual drag-and-drop programming tool. It allows you to
create codes by connecting blocks like puzzle pieces, which can then control the Tinker Orbits kit—a
kit that helps you make cool projects using different electronic components.

This tool is part of the AI Connect platform and is perfect for beginners who are just starting to
learn how to code. By the end of this chapter, you will be able to create your own code, upload it to
the Tinker Orbits kit, and see your program come to life!

Tinker Orbit Components

The Brain Module in the Tinker Orbits Kit is a smart controller that powers all the robot projects.
This “brain” helps control the robot by taking in information from sensors and sending commands
to motors and other parts. It allows you to easily build and program your robots. You can code the
Brain Module using simple Block-Based Programming or more advanced text coding.
