FlowPaw is a development board disguised as an electronics toy. Intended to teach children to programming and hardware, the kit comprises a main board, four Click boards™, and a graphical programming software called FlowStone STEM.
FlowPaw’s four claws with mikroBUS tm sockets, that enables you to expand functionality of the paw by just adding desired Click boards Tm. Included in the box are a proximity sensor, a 8x8 LED display, an accelerometer and a buzzer.
Kids are curious, but keeping their attention is hard. Especially now when toddlers are swiping, zooming and tapping iPads before they’re potty trained. And the available digital distraction sure don’t decline with age.
Still, technology is much more fascinating than slicing fruit mid-air. You just need a right way to present it.Take a step in the right direction.
When children get immersed into a fun activity it’s like they’ve fallen under a spell — eyes widen, the breath is still. But even then, they’re tiptoeing on the edge of boredom. As soon as it gets too repetitive the spell is broken. Make it too challenging — again it doesn’t work.
The key to keep the junior code learner spellbound is to provide a steady stream of small wins early on. That’s what Flowstone — the programming software that comes with FlowPaw — is designed to do...
Programs are built by picking and connecting pre-existing components. Start by tweaking one of the 25 provided examples.
Some FlowStone components are actually nuggets of Ruby code. As you refine your creations, you’ll start hacking and your coding confidence will grow.
Give it a shot. Try and fail. Try again. A rapid succession of trial and error is the quickest way to learn — and FlowPaw responds in real-time.
Curiosity feels like an itch; the more you scratch it — by finding answers to questions and learning new stuff — the more it itches.
Included in the box are a proximity sensor, a 8x8 LED display, an accelerometer and a buzzer.
