Johnco Kameo DIY Colour Coding Chameleon

Build a Chameleon, Then Code Its Next Move

What happens when your child draws a different colour into Kameo’s path? There’s one fun way to find out. The Johnco Kameo DIY Colour Coding Chameleon combines a hands-on robot-building project with screen-free coding for kids aged 8 years and up.

First, children assemble their robotic chameleon. Then they use the included markers to draw paths and colour-coded sequences, experimenting with commands that make Kameo speed up, spin or change direction. It’s a practical introduction to how a sequence of instructions can change what a robot does.

What’s Inside

• Parts to assemble the Kameo robotic chameleon.
• Colour markers for drawing paths and commands.
• A practice map to get started.
• Optical sensors that respond to red, green, blue and black commands.

Why Kids (and Parents) Love It

• Build first, experiment next: The assembly project gives children a robot of their own to put to the test.
• Coding without a screen: Children explore programming logic through drawings rather than an app, tablet or computer.
• Make a change and watch what happens: Trying different colour sequences encourages observation, problem-solving and another go.
• A creative way into robotics: Drawing a route brings a personal touch to learning about instructions and sequencing.

Good to Know Before You Buy

• Recommended for ages 8 years and up.
• This is a DIY kit, so the chameleon needs to be assembled before coding play begins.
• No app, tablet or computer is required for the colour-coding activities.
• Battery requirements and any tools needed for assembly are not specified in the current product information. Please check with us before ordering if you need to have these ready.

What age is it recommended for?

The recommended age is 8 years and up. As it includes a building stage, consider how comfortable your child is with assembly projects when choosing it.

Does it need an app or computer?

No. The coding activities use physical drawings and colour sequences, so there’s no app, tablet or computer needed.

How does the colour coding work?

Kameo uses optical sensors to read colour-coded paths. Red, green, blue and black commands let children experiment with actions such as speeding up, spinning and changing direction.

Are the markers and practice map included?

Yes. The kit includes colour markers and a practice map alongside the robot parts.

Does it need batteries?

The current product information does not confirm battery type, quantity or whether batteries are included. Please contact us to check before purchasing.
