The HP Robots Otto Starter Builder Kit is a complete educational STEAM robotics kit designed to introduce students to robotics, coding, electronics, engineering, and computational thinking through hands-on learning. Unlike the Creator Kit, the Builder Kit includes both the electronic components and all 3D-printed plastic parts, allowing users to build the robot straight out of the box without requiring a 3D printer.

Designed for children aged 8+, students, makers, teachers, and educational institutions, Otto offers an engaging learning experience covering robot assembly, programming, and interactive robotics. Assembly is simple, requires no soldering, and supports progressive learning from block-based programming to Python and C++.
