+# EDUCATOR
+These demonstration scripts are for the EDUCATOR robot that can be built using
+the Education kit (45544). You can also build a close approximation using the
+Home kit (31313) if you purchase some additional parts such as a gyro sensor and
+ultrasonic sensor. You can substitute the ball and socket from the Education
+kit with a single rear wheel.
