What is Smart Train?

Build a behavior.See the train run it.

Smart Train combines a sensor-equipped vehicle, physical track and software so learners can test what they planned through the movement of a real object.

Smart Train vehicle and Starter Set

Not only for train enthusiasts

A train is the form.
Movement is the entry point.

For a young learner, a moving object gives an immediate, shared result. Place a color, run the train and see what changes. The product invites action before it asks for a long explanation.

A child who loves trains can go deeper into routes and operations. But prior interest in railways is not required. The common starting point is the desire to make something move and find out why.

This does not guarantee the same response or learning outcome for every learner. Check the product, age guidance and operating environment before purchase.

From touch to code

A visible result
invites the next idea.

Try it, watch it move, then change it—all on the same table.

  1. 1
    Read color

    Sensors under the train read colored snaps placed on the track.

  2. 2
    Return a physical result

    The train runs, stops or changes speed, making the result visible immediately.

  3. 3
    Connect to code

    Scratch and Python can control speed, distance, lights and other functions.

  4. 4
    Rebuild the problem

    Change the track, add switches or combine trains to create a different challenge.
