2024 Back to School Handbook - RoboKind Leads

Are you an "RoboKind Lead" or Supervisor of the RoboKind program? We've created a simple back-to-school guide to help support getting things up and running for SY '24-'25!

1. Encourage your tech team and educators to update your Robot & Companion App on all devices!

    1. The robot should be on software version 3.7.1
    2. The app should be on software version 5.2.1. When the app is opened, it should read PROD 352 in the bottom right corner. 

Here's an article detailing how to update your robot AND companion app

We will be contacting your IT team to help push the App update! If it's still not updated by back to school, let us know. 

2. Deliver robot(s) & device(s) to your team!

    1. Here's a sample document to track your robot and devices

 

3. Clean up RoboKind Central! 

We totally understand teams shift with the start of the school year.
