Coding with Vehicle Sensor Technologies Kit

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.

//code.Node Cart

The //code.Node Cart transforms the //code.Node into a programmable vehicle sensing device, enabling students to replicate, program, and investigate automotive technology like real-life engineers. Includes additional accessories to support the included investigations.

Student Activities and Video Lessons

The Coding with Vehicle Sensor Technologies Kit includes five investigations with video lessons, printed student worksheets, and an interactive digital flipbook that presents the resources in an engaging, student-friendly format. Each lesson is based upon the latest science standards and incorporates cross-curricular connections to reinforce key concepts in computer science, mathematics and language arts.
