Motion adds a new dimension of engagement in math, science and coding

Programming Rover to move is a fun way to explore topics and concepts, promote collaborative problem-solving, and spark lively conversations.

TI-Innovator™ Rover

Students program Rover to put math and science in motion, adding a physical dimension to verbal, symbolic and graphic representations. Rover also provides an accessible on-ramp to more advanced coding, STEM and robotics projects.

TI-Innovator™ Hub

The TI-Innovator™ Hub translates commands from students' TI graphing calculators to control Rover. It can also be used separately from Rover to help students develop basic coding and design skills, and build working STEM and engineering projects.

TI graphing calculators

TI-Nspire™ CX technology and TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculators open new channels for inquiry, exploration and connection as students use the built-in TI-Basic coding language to program the TI-Innovator™ components.

Code. Design. Build.

Get students asking questions that prompt exploration and conceptual understanding in basic programming, engineering design, mathematics and science.

Your ride is here

Plug-and-play ready

The TI-Innovator™ Rover is out-of-the-box ready to connect to the TI-Innovator™ Hub, which is placed in a special bay on Rover. Either a TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator or TI-Nspire™ CX handheld is secured with clamps on top of Rover.

Motivate students to think differently

Rover rolls over roadblocks to learning by providing students with a new way to experience mathematics. The physical representation creates an additional entry point to problem solving that connects mathematics, coding and movement.

Take the on-ramp to robotics

Rover is an introduction to coding and robotics. The simple programming language that is built into TI graphing technology makes it easy to program the system, run it and troubleshoot to correct or fine-tune performance.

Make maths a moving experience

Motion enables students to engage in mathematics from a new perspective. Rover puts mathematics in their world, encourages them to ask, "what if...?" and inspires them to persist in finding solutions to make the vehicle perform the way they want it to.

Built for the classroom

A durable, rechargeable battery powers Rover's two motors. The vehicle also includes a colour sensor; a distance sensor; an LED display; a holder for a marker to draw paths on paper; and a gyroscope to measure heading.

Unlimited opportunities

Rover's design allows for access to the TI-Innovator™ Hub input and output ports, so students can add additional capabilities to their Rover experience.
