matlab stem_評論:適用於STEM孩子的littleBits小工具和Gizmos電子產品套件

Here's some previous posts I've done on the topics of STEM, kids, programming, and learning with young people:
這是我之前完成的一些關於STEM,孩子,程式設計和與年輕人一起學習的文章:

Teaching Kids Electronics, Computers, and Programming Fundamentals with Snap Circuits
The 8 year old (recently 7, now barely 8) has been playing with littleBits lately and having a blast. He loved SnapCircuits so littleBits seemed like a reasonable, if slightly higher-level, option.
8歲的孩子(最近7歲,現在只有8歲)最近一直在玩littleBits並爆炸。 他喜歡SnapCircuits,因此littleBits似乎是一個合理的選擇,即使是更高層次的選擇也是如此。
SnapCircuits boldly has kids as young as three or four creating circuitry from a simple light and switch all the way up to a solar-powered radio or a burglar/door alarm. It doesn't hide the complexities of volts and amps and includes low-level components like resistors. Frankly, I wish my first EE (Electrical Engineering) class in college was taught with SnapCircuits.
SnapCircuits大膽地讓3至4歲的孩子從一個簡單的燈中建立電路,並一直切換到太陽能收音機或防盜/門警報器。 它沒有掩蓋伏特和安培的複雜性,並且包括電阻等低電平元件。 坦白說,我希望我在大學裡的第一門EE(電氣工程)課程是通過SnapCircuits進行的。
LittleBits (usually a lowercase L) jumps up a layer of abstraction and includes motors, motion detectors, LED arrays, and lots more. There are also specific kits for specific interests like a littleBits Musical Electronics Synth Kit and a littleBits Smart Home Kit that include specific littleBits that extend the base kit.
LittleBits (通常為小寫L)跳到了一層抽象,其中包括電動機,運動檢測器,LED陣列等等。 還有一些針對特定興趣的特定套件,例如littleBits音樂電子合成器套件和littleBits智慧家居套件,其中包括擴充套件基本套件的特定littleBits。
The key to littleBits is their magic magnet that makes it basically impossible to do something wrong or hurt yourself. The genius here is that the magnet only goes one way (because: magnets) and the connector underlying transmits both power and data.
littleBits的關鍵是它們的魔力,這使得做錯事或傷害自己基本上不可能。 這裡的天才之處在於,磁體僅以一種方式執行(因為:磁體),並且下面的聯結器既傳輸功率又傳輸資料。
You start with a power bit, then add an "if" statement like a switch, then move to do a "do" statement like a motor or light or whatever. In just about 20 minutes my 8 year old was able to take a LEGO custom Star Wars Blaster and add totally new functionality like lights and sounds..
您從電源位開始,然後新增“ if”語句(如開關),然後移動以執行“ do”語句,例如電機或照明燈或其他。 我8歲的孩子僅用了20分鐘就可以使用樂高定製的《星球大戰衝擊波》,並添加了全新的功能,例如燈光和聲音。

One of the aspects of littleBits that I think is powerful but that wasn't immediately obvious to me is that you shouldn't be afraid to use glue or more permanent attachments with your projects. I initially tried to attach littleBits with rubber bands and strings but realized that they'd smartly included "glue dots" and Velcro as well as 3M adhesive pads. Once we stopped being "afraid" to use these stickers and adhesives, suddenly little projects became semi-permanent technical art installations.
我認為littleBits的功能很強大,但是對我而言並不立刻顯而易見,那就是您不應該害怕在專案中使用膠水或更多永久性的附件。 我最初嘗試將littleBits與橡皮筋和細繩相連,但意識到它們巧妙地包含了“膠點”和Velcro以及3M膠墊。 一旦我們不再害怕使用這些貼紙和膠粘劑,突然間,很少有專案變成半永久性的技術裝置。
We got the "Gizmos & Gadgets" kit which is a little spendy, but it includes 15 bits that enables you to do basically anything. The instructions are great and we a had remote-controlled robot that could drive around the room running within an hour. It's a great setup, a fun kit, and something that kids 8-14 will use all the time.
我們得到了“ Gizmos&Gadgets ”工具包,該工具包有點花錢,但是它包含15位,使您基本上可以執行任何操作。 說明非常棒,我們有一個遙控機器人,可以在一小時內在房間內運轉。 這是一個很棒的設定,一個有趣的工具包,並且8-14歲的孩子會一直使用。
Here are some fantastic examples of other Star Wars related littleBits projects for you to explore:
