Out-of-the-box there is nothing to wire. The BrainPad was designed to be an all-in-one STEM platform with all peripherals integrated directly onto the board.
By leveraging Microsoft MakeCode, everything you need is in the cloud and does not require you to install a single software package. This makes getting started with BrainPad both easy and effortless.
While getting started with the BrainPad is simple and no experience is necessary, it also allows students to evolve into advanced uses from high school all the way into college.
Topics about DC motors, servo motors, line/light sensors and distance sensors.
Coding comes to life through creating retro games, an excellent tool for teaching math and art.
Learn about physical computing (electronics) and how it connects to microcontrollers (the brains).
The BrainPad has been like gold in the hands of our CODE313 Summer STEM Academy – CODEHoopDreams Camp Youth. With its use, we have been able to expose our participants (ages 7-13) to the wonderful world of coding but with a unique twist.
The BrainPad is a unique product with tremendous capability that fits in the palm of your hand. It provides an easy entry point for kids who are just beginning to code and sparks their interest in STEM!
BrainPad just clicks with students. It is easy and intuitive with so much to do without the need to add additional hardware. The students are engaged and just want to do it.
The BrainPad is an exciting STEM/STEAM mini computer for learning and coding video games, robots and electronics. With the BrainPad, students do not realize that they are learning coding and computer science because they are so excited to use and play with the BrainPad.
The BrainPad provides teachers with the resources and support they need to create engaging curriculum; facilitating students in real-world learning.
