Welcome to our Maker Space!
Our Mobile Maker Space is the ideal kickstart for teachers and students who wants to pick up some tools and build with robotics. The bin comes packed with 15 start-up kits including everything needed to build multiple projects (listed below) and of course, can be used to make your own stuff move! We recommend watching the start-up videos below to cover some of the basics before starting the lessons.
Start-up
The Lessons
NO COMPUTER
… AT FIRST
We have code available that can be uploaded to your Micro:bit along with our Animate Breakout board to provide a no computer required experience (Tutorial Below) This also allows students and teachers to work in a variety of classrooms without the need for a computer.
The breakout board provides 3 control knobs, easy connections, and an RGB pixel. Pre-coded, this combo allows you to record your servo moves and play them back on a loop to animate your builds. The combo also allows connecting sensors (ie sound, light, pulse) to make stuff move with the sensor’s input.
WHEN YOU ARE READY TO CODE
Our Micro:Bit breakout board is compatible with Micro:bit v1.5 and v2.0. Simply pug in your own Micro:Bit using the edge connecter to get started.
