What will the child learn?
In the process of working with the polygon, children, starting from senior preschool age, program the robot in a very simple, specially created language of the Scientific Entertainment company, where each “command” is represented by an intuitively understandable pictogram.
The set allows you to develop fine motor skills and provide basic knowledge about the fundamentals of programming.
Updates
- Individually
— Work in pairs
— Subgroups
— Group lessons
The kit includes several versions of the “Smart Environment” for the robot - these are versions of polygons assembled from cubes.
It is assumed that children will program the robot to perform a number of tasks to achieve the goal. The polygon itself can be any, with different obstacles and tasks, while it is also programmable, but the tasks for programming the polygon are more complex and can be performed in different ways:
- Older children
— Teachers
— The teacher and the children can do a lesson on updating the firmware of the testing ground board.
The kit allows you to use a robot model based on an Arduino-compatible controller, as well as assemble a testing ground from construction blocks and electronic components.
The kit uses the most widely used Arduino board in the education and hobby fields.
— Mobile robot based on Arduino with light sensor
— Arduino-compatible platform
— Touch sensor (2 pieces)
- Servomotor
— LED green
- USB connection cable
— USB mini connection cable for Arduino
— Battery pack
— Power elements (6 pieces)
- Flashlight
— Cable set
— Block (element) separator
— A set of multi-colored structural elements for assembling a polygon
— Methodological manual
— Software module
— Storage system
The entire set is supplied in a plastic storage system, which is closed with a transparent plastic lid with latches to ensure visibility of the contents.
Methodological support
Consists of the following key points:
— Description of the set composition
— Detailed instructions for assembling the polygon with clear and understandable color illustrations
— Descriptions of the software shell, with the help of which the robotic kit is configured and controlled
Software module
The software module is a programming environment used to program the mobile robot and the testing ground to ensure their interaction.
