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 come to life through creating retro games, an excellent tool for teaching math and arts.
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.
