Wonder Workshop connects a physical robot with tools for learning to code. Dash provides the movement, lights and sounds; Make Wonder adds account-based learning resources and software options. For families and schools, the practical choice includes the robot, the device used to program it and the plan that supports the intended activity.345

A continuing robot brand with a new operator

MORAVIA Education, Inc., part of MORAVIA Consulting Group, says it acquired Wonder Workshop’s assets. Its FAQ explicitly separates that purchase from acquiring Wonder Workshop, Inc. as a corporation. The Wonder Workshop brand and the old company’s corporate history therefore need to be read separately.1

The current operator dates its US launch to February 2026 and says its team includes former Wonder Workshop employees. That marks a new chapter for the brand’s products and services. It is the operator’s launch month, not the founding date of the Wonder Workshop brand.2

MORAVIA says Dash, Blockly, Make Wonder and the apps continue, along with existing support channels and renewal paths. An owner checking a subscription or a school preparing vendor paperwork can use that transition notice to ask the current operator about their particular account or purchase.1

Which Dash app will you use?

The compatibility page lists Blockly, Wonder and Chrome-based Blockly Pro routes. It marks Go as deprecated and Xylo as available without further updates. Check the intended app against the exact phone, tablet or computer before buying for a class or reusing an older device.4

Does physical Dash need internet for every activity?

The maker says installed phone and tablet apps can program physical Dash offline, while web use needs internet. Work out whether you want a physical robot activity or an online platform lesson, then confirm that the chosen app and device support that workflow.34

How are recordings and class data handled?

The privacy policy says voice recordings sent to Dash over Bluetooth remain on the robot until replaced. Class work and account functions have separate platform data handling, and deletion from backups can take up to 60 days. The robot’s lack of a camera does not remove the need to review the account and classroom data settings.36

Dash hardware and Make Wonder software

Start by separating the physical robot from the learning platform. They can be used together, but owning Dash and choosing a software plan are different decisions.35

Dash

Dash is an assembled programmable robot that moves, turns, lights up and plays sounds. The maker targets ages 5 to 14 and describes responses to sounds and obstacles without an onboard camera. Its internal battery is not user-replaceable; charging problems are directed to support.3

Make Wonder

Make Wonder’s plan list includes a free tier requiring physical Dash and paid plans with additional content and virtual-robot features. The paid feature list names JavaScript and Python in Blockly Pro. Confirm the physical or virtual route and the entitlement needed for the specific lesson.25

Plan one real coding activity

Choose a small goal, such as programming a route across a room, then identify the device and app the learner will use. For a school, also ask who manages accounts and whether the activity needs a subscription. Check the exact unit’s condition and support route when buying used or relying on an older robot.345

Will the learner use the physical robot or Virtual Dash?

Make that choice before paying for software. Ask the operator to identify the app, plan and supported device for the activity you want. A paid feature list alone does not demonstrate that the same project runs on a physical Dash.45
