Arduino Alvik

The Arduino Alvik has been designed to make programming and robotics accessible and enjoyable for learners of all ages. Powered by the Nano ESP32, it has a comprehensive programming suite that includes block-based coding for beginners and transitions to MicroPython and Arduino language for more advanced users.

It comes with a variety of sensors, such as Time of Flight, RGB colour, a line-following array, a 6-axis gyroscope, and an accelerometer. This great line of features lets you create many different projects, from obstacle-avoiding robots to smart automation systems.

Customisation is so easy with LEGO® Technic™ connectors and M3 screw connectors, letting you personalise your designs and expansions. The inclusion of Servo, I2C Grove, and I2C Qwiic connectors gives you so many more options for your next project, supporting the addition of motors, robotic arms, or extra sensors.

The Alvik is ideal for various learning areas, including classrooms, makerspaces, homes, or garages. The rechargeable and replaceable battery design lets the learning fun continue and extends the robot’s lifespan.

If you’re looking to expand your learning and build more fun projects, pick up the Arduino Student Kit from our store and continue the fun!
