Robotical Cog
The Robotical Cog is an interactive physical computing learning platform designed for children aged 4 and up. It instantly shows how their code affects a real-world object, making learning coding more tangible and fun.
Light Show
With Robotical Cog, students can program lights to flash in different patterns and colors. This teaches them loops, timing, and sequencing, offering a visually engaging way to grasp coding basics and physical computing principles.
Reaction Test
Using Robotical Cog, students can create a reaction test game that measures response times with sensors. This activity teaches conditional statements and timing functions, making coding interactive and fun.
Musical Instrument
Robotical Cog allows students to program a musical instrument that turns inputs into sounds. This creative activity combines art and technology, reinforcing input/output processing and variable manipulation.
Balance Game
Robotical Cog enables students to use sensors to detect tilt or movement, helping them learn about real-time data processing and feedback loops. It’s a dynamic introduction to sensor integration in coding.
PE Circuits Timer
With Robotical Cog, students can create a timer for exercise intervals, teaching them about timers, counters, and signal outputs. This links coding with practical, everyday applications.
Marty Controller
Using Robotical Cog to control a Marty robot helps students understand robotics and remote programming. They learn command sequences and sensor integration, seeing their code in action.
Simple Data Acquisition
Robotical Cog enables students to program systems that collect sensor data. This introduces them to data acquisition and processing, showing how coding can gather and analyze real-world information and laying a foundation for more advanced applications.
