Before you choose

Who is behind Dash?

Dash is the assembled Wonder Workshop coding robot. The cited sources identify MORAVIA Education’s 2026 asset purchase and operator transition. They explicitly distinguish that transaction from acquiring Wonder Workshop, Inc. as a corporation. Check the current support route for your unit.

What would a learner do with it?

The maker describes programming movement, turns, lights and sounds, with responses to sounds and obstacles and no onboard camera. Its target ages are 5 to 14. Choose a small activity the learner can change and repeat, with supervision suited to that activity. The age range is manufacturer guidance.

Can physical Dash work without internet?

Installed native tablet and phone apps can program physical Dash offline according to the cited FAQ. Browser use needs internet. Check the exact route: the compatibility page marks Go as deprecated and Xylo as no longer updated. A web lesson and an installed robot-control app have different requirements.

Do we need a paid Make Wonder plan?

The US pricing page checked on October 26, 2026 includes a free tier requiring physical Dash. It separately lists a USD 125 annual Homeschool plan for up to five students and one parent or teacher. Verify the intended physical or virtual activity and plan entitlement before paying; the paid feature list names Blockly Pro JavaScript and Python.

Which tablet and app should we check?

The cited compatibility table lists iOS 12 or later, Android 6 or later with Bluetooth LE, and Chrome desktop routes, with app-specific exceptions. Try the exact app and device together. The cited sources do not establish a current installed firmware version or a region-specific hardware sale SKU.

What happens to recordings and an aging battery?

The cited privacy policy says recorded voice sent over Bluetooth stays on the robot until replaced; account and class-work services have separate handling. The internal battery is not user-replaceable. Check how to clear recordings and who will support a unit that no longer holds a charge.

The robot and the job

Dash can be approached as a robot to program rather than a machine to assemble. Its maker describes movement, lights, sounds and responses to obstacles, without an onboard camera. The maker’s target age range in the sources checked on October 26, 2026 is 5 to 14. That is the manufacturer's audience guidance; the right activity and supervision still depend on the learner.1

Setup, support and ownership

The business behind the brand changed in 2026. MORAVIA says it acquired Wonder Workshop's assets and launched US-based MORAVIA Education in February, continuing Dash, apps, accessories and Make Wonder. Keep that transition visible when checking support or a subscription rather than assuming an old Wonder Workshop corporate profile is still current.26

For physical Dash, installed tablet or phone apps can work without internet. Browser use needs an internet connection, and the exact app matters: the compatibility page marks Go as deprecated and Xylo as no longer receiving updates. Blockly, Wonder and Blockly Pro should not be collapsed into a single timeless 'Dash app' claim.13

Make Wonder has a free tier that requires a physical Dash. Its US pricing page checked on October 26, 2026 listed a USD 125 annual Homeschool plan for up to five students and one parent or teacher, with additional content and virtual-robot features. The paid feature list now names JavaScript and Python in Blockly Pro. Confirm the intended physical or virtual workflow and plan entitlement before promising a particular text-code project.4

Dash's internal battery is not user-replaceable; the maker directs owners to support if it stops holding a charge. Its privacy policy says recorded voice travels to the robot over Bluetooth and remains there until replaced, while class-work and account functions have separate data handling. A useful trial includes connecting the exact device, saving a program and checking the support route for the specific unit.153
