# Educational Dancing Robots The New Kamigami Educational Robots Hope to Teach Basic Coding to Kids By Justin Lam | Published 2018-02-20 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kamigami-educational-robots References: [theverge](https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/2/19/17027758/jurassic-park-kamigami-toy-fair-new-york) & [popsugar](https://www.popsugar.com/moms/photo-gallery/44594401/image/44594488/Jurassic-World-Kamigami-Robots) The newest line of Kamigami educational robots feature dinosaurs that are designed to teach kids how to code. Kamigami entered the educational tech space with its first run of bug-themed robots. The dinosaur models do not differ too much from the original bug concept, but these new robots ditch the origami design of its predecessor and instead adopt a plastic cover with a more refined look. The two new Kamigami educational robots feature a tie-in with the Jurassic World companion app, and allow users to [drag-and-drop code](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ari-by-ozobot) to make the dinosaurs move. The robots can light up, make noise, dance, complete basic movement actions and engage in a variety of other interactions. The [dinosaur robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinosaur-toys) can be charged through Micro USB and the charger looks like a piece of meat that is inserted into the dinosaur's mouth.
