1. Product introduction

KS0561 Honeycomb DIY STEM Project Kit for Arduino with Alligator Clip Cable

1.1 Description

This is a media interactive learning kit based on Scratch programming language. As we all know, Scratch is a kind of graphical programming that can be done by dragging and building blocks, which empowers to help children or adult programming beginners learn basic programming concepts. What’s more, it is committed to cultivating people’s creativity, logic and collaboration.

Admittedly children will be more interested in programming if we combine real projects with real hardware. In this connection, we seek to combine the Scratch with an Arduino control board and match 13 kinds of distinctive sensors, which enable to lead you into a world of the interactive media and help you create interesting interactive media works.

Interactive media technology, also known as multimedia interactive technology, is dedicated to the information interaction between the computer and the external environment. Popular science projects such as electronic fish tanks, interactive projections, virtual book turning and 4D cinemas in the exhibition hall of the science and technology museum are typical interactive media works, which distinctly reflect the magic charm of the combination of technology and art.

However, this kit is suitable for beginners who are interested in interactive media technology or interactive installation art. It is also fit for primary and middle school students who enjoy technology production and hardware programming.

In this project, you are capable of writing interactive media works by dragging icons. Moreover, you can learn the technology of human-computer interaction with very low barriers. That sounds great, right? Let’s explore together!

1.4 Keyestudio Maker Development Board

1.Description

Keyestudio maker programming development board is a control board fully compatible with the Arduino IDE development environment. It can receive input signals from various sensors to detect the operating environment. Furthermore, it enables to output signals to control light sources, motors as well as other drives in ways that influence the surroundings.

The microcontroller programming on the board mainly uses the Arduino IDE programming environment. You are capable of communicating with software running on your computer (such as the KidsBlock Desktop of this project), which allows you to create more stunning interactive works.

It contains all the functions of the Arduino UNO R3 board on the website, however, it is more powerful. The board is compatible with Lego bricks and can be used to build Lego DIY experiments. Moreover, it boasts a broad menu of different ports such as pin header ports, female header ports and alligator clip ports.
