# Introduction
**Introduction**
As Makeblock's award-winning programming robot, mBot has taken the heart of over 4,500,000 children around the world. Not only do children adore mBot's loving appearance, but they also love playing with it.
With a screwdriver and step-by-step instructions, children can build their own robot from scratch and enjoy the fun of hands-on creation. The building process provides a perfect opportunity to introduce kids to the basics of robotic machinery and electronic parts. They can easily get started with block-based programming to play with mBot.
**Use mBlock 5**
Use mBlock 5 to play with your mBot. Graphical programming is ideal to show kids the magic of programming. As they progress, they can even further delve into more complicated Arduino C programming.
You can get mBlock 5 on your PC, phones and tablets, or use mBlock 5 in a web browser.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://learn.pakronics.com.au/primary/mbot/introduction.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
