Wonder Workshop introduced Dash & Dot in December 2014.[6] They are robots targeted at teaching creative problem-solving and computational thinking. They come with four free apps compatible with iOS and Android devices, including the iPad 3, iPad mini, iPad Air 1 & 2 and a variety of Nexus and Samsung Galaxy devices.
