The robot develops along his owner by gaining new abilities, senses and functionalities with each programming related task completed. Completing a quest to create a simple program may let the kid pick some sort of upgrade for Photon, like the ability to see or detect obstacles.

SkriApp is an educational mobile app for learning visual programming, which allows students to test their skills in practice thanks to the immediate translation of the created algorithms into the robot's operation. Thanks to detailed descriptions of the blocks and sets of simple tasks, the application is a great programming tool for students not only in the presence of a teacher but also in case of independent work. SkriApp has 2 modes that allow students to control the robot's movement - visual programming and remote control. They can also create their own blocks and use them in their programs. SkriApp replaces the app previously known as Skribots application.
