Description
The Complete Coding with Sensor Technologies Kit introduces students to coding and includes 20 hands-on investigations that explore science phenomena using the //code.Node’s programmable sensors, lights and sounds. This complete kit contains one //code.Node and all of the materials, hardware, and hands-on investigations found in the three coding with sensor technologies kits (ST-7801, ST-7821, and ST-7831).
Block-Based Coding
Blockly simplifies the programming process for new coders. Visual coding blocks connect like puzzle pieces to help students master the basics of programming, without having to worry about their syntax.
//code.Node
Wireless and easy-to-use, the //code.Node includes six sensor inputs, a speaker, RGB light, and an LED array that enables students to explore exciting phenomena using block-based programs that collect, display, and respond to data.
