Turing Tumble is a new type of game where players (ages 8 to adult) build mechanical computers powered by marbles to solve logic puzzles. Use ramps, crossovers, bits, interceptors, gears, and gear bits to build marble-powered computers that can generate patterns, do logic, count, add, subtract, multiply, divide, and much, much more. Discover how computers work!

This is the LilyPad Rainbow LED strip, with seven LilyPad LEDs that are still attached to one another, letting you snap LEDs apart at your leisure to sew into clothing or whatever else you can dream up. The LilyPad Rainbow LED features seven individual LEDs in six unique colors (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Pink, and White). Text has been added to the back of each board to indicate its color. Due to popular request, we have included two white LEDs instead of just one. Note: A portion of this sale is given back to Dr. Leah Buechley for continued development and education in e-textiles.

You can find the wireless version here.   How about taming a robot? Thymio is a small robot which will allow you to discover the universe of robotics and learn a robot's language. You will be able to program it and carry out numerous experiments. With Thymio, the basics of robotics and programming become notions everyone can discover, whatever their age. Important notes - updated 26.06.23------------------------------------------------------------ When programming with Scratch, the cable must always remain connectedWe recommend the language Blockly as an alternative -------------------------------

Entwicklung algorithmischen Denken mit 'Ulla und die Biber'Die Karten eignen sich hervorragend für den Unterricht, sei es für den Unterricht der Informatik oder für die Integration informatischer Themen in den Sprach- und Mathematik-Unterricht. So passen beispielsweise die Karten mit den Zahlenfolgen, die Rechenspiele und das Lernen von Vergleichen sehr gut zur Mathematik. Andererseits eignen sich die Rätsel mit Texten, Wörtern und Geheimschriften für den Sprachunterricht.Die Lösungen sind ergänzt durch wertvolle Hinweisen, wie man sie finden kann. Es geht nicht nur darum, durch Probieren eine Lösung zu finden, sondern auch um die Entwicklung von Strategien zur Lösungssuche.Die Karten sind so geordnet, dass jeweils vier Karten einem Thema gewidmet sind. Im dunkelblauen Feld oben rechts ist auf jeder Karte der Schwierigkeitsgrad angegeben: 1 Biberchen bedeutet einen leichten Schwierigkeitsgrad, 2 Biberchen signalisieren einen mittelschweren und 3 Biberchen einen hohen Schwierigkeitsgrad. Innerhalb jedes Themas ist der Schwierigkeitsgrad ansteigend, demnach folgen den einfachen Aufgaben die schwierigeren Aufgaben.Die Biber-Karten sind inspiriert vom Informatik-Biber-Wettbewerb. Die Knobelaufgaben hier sind originell und waren bisher nicht Teil des Wettbewerbes. Beim Informatik-Biber-Wettbewerb lösen Kinder Aufgaben mit informatischem Hintergrund. Der Wettbewerb findet einmal im Jahr online statt. 2018 haben 2,7 Millionen Kinder aus 53 Ländern teilgenommen, davon waren über 21 000 aus der Schweiz. Die Schweiz macht seit 2010 beim Informatik-Biber-Wettbewerb mit. Der Wettbewerb dauert jeweils 40 Minuten, in denen die Kinder je nach Altersstufe 8 – 15 Aufgaben lösen. Es gibt eine Rangliste, kleine Preise, viel Spass und noch viel mehr zum Lernen. Die Anmeldung erfolgt über die Lehrperson und die Teilnahme ist kostenlos. Lösungen zu den Spielkarten

In dieser Sammlung finden Sie interessante Informatikaufgaben, die von der internationalen Bebras-Gemeinschaft erstellt wurden.Die Karten sind leicht verständlich und laden zum Knobeln ein. Zudem gibt es auf jeder Karte eine kurze Erklärung, wie diese Aufgabe mit der Informatik zusammenhängt. In der Klasse oder in einer Gruppe kann es darüber hinaus sehr spannend sein die Lösung, die man gefunden hat, den Mitschülern zu erklären. Das schult das klare Formulieren und das Argumentieren anhand von nachvollziehbaren Überlegungen und damit das Überzeugen der anderen Kinder von der eigenen Lösung. Dies ist eine Fähigkeit, die über alles Fachwissen hinaus im Leben wichtig ist und bleiben wird. Es gibt deshalb auch keine Lösungsblätter und die eine oder andere Karte hat mehr als eine Lösung. Viel Spass beim Knobeln und argumentieren!Die Primarschule Attinghausen, UR hat die Biber Spielkarten in verschiedenen Klassen eingesetzt und folgendes Feedback zukommen lassen (Auszug): Es braucht (fast) kein Material und ist vor allem für begabte Kinder eine gute Möglichkeit, sie zu fördern. (1. Klasse)Für einige Kinder sehr ansprechend (vor allem Kinder, die gerne knobeln und überlegen / bequemere, passive Kinder fanden diese Karten nicht so toll). (2. Klasse)Ich habe die Karten oft als Einstieg in eine Lektion oder Auflockerung während einer Lektion gebraucht und das Rätsel an die Wandtafel projiziert. (2. Klasse)Die Karten sind gut verständlich, lösbar und motivieren die Kinder, weil sie knobeln müssen. (3. Klasse) Einige Karten sind etwas zu einfach. (3. und 4. Klasse)Die Karten sind verständlich gestaltet, es braucht keine weiteren Hilfsmittel. (4. Klasse) Abwechslungsreiche Themen und Aufgabenstellungen. (4. Klasse)Einige Karten sind herausfordernd, aber lösbar und logisch (auch für SuS nachvollziehbar). (4. Klasse)Grosser Spassfaktor. (integrative Förderung)

To complete the successful series of teaching materials "Technology and Design" by editor Thomas Stuber, the last volume will be published in spring 2020: the handbook for teachers for the 1st cycle. The teaching projects in this volume take into account the age groups of 4-6 year olds and 7-8 year olds as well as the different learning and teaching cultures of kindergarten and primary lower school. The "Technology and Design" series of teaching materials for technical and textile design was developed in collaboration with experts from the fields of science, didactics and practice and is based on Curriculum 21. The five volumes focus on the development of technology and design. The concept of the series is geared towards a multi-perspective teaching approach and integrates interdisciplinary references to "Nature, Man, Society" as well as to "Media and Computer Science". The series is composed as follows : For teachers BasicsHandbook for teachers - 1st cycleHandbook for teachers - 2nd and 3rd cyclePlay, Mechanics, EnergyHandbook for teachers - 2nd and 3rd cycleLeisure, Fashion, Living For learners Learning bookletLearning app for smartphone and tablet Additional materials for teachers and learners are available on the teaching and learning platform www.technikunddesign.ch.

Teach middle school students the basics of programming, coding, and electronics. No prior knowledge or experience is necessary as the kits guide you through step-by-step, you are well-supported with teacher guides, and lessons can be paced according to your students’ abilities. You can integrate the kit throughout the curriculum, giving your students the opportunity to become confident in programming and electronics with guided sessions and open experimentation. You’ll also be teaching them vital 21st-century skills such as collaboration and problem-solving. The Arduino Education Starter Kit contains all the hardware and software you need for eight students (in groups of 2). You get step-by-step-lessons, teacher notes, exercises, and for a complete and in-depth class experience there’s also extra optional resources including activities, concepts, history, and interesting facts. The online platform contains the teacher content, nine 90-minute lessons, and two open-ended group projects that teach students coding and electronics. Each lesson builds off the previous one, giving students a further opportunity to apply the skills and concepts they have already learned. Students also get an engineering logbook that they complete as they work through the lessons. The beginning of each lesson provides an overview, estimated completion times, and learning objectives. Throughout each lesson, there are teacher notes and information that help the lesson go smoothly. Extension ideas are provided at the end of each lesson.
