Play a Melody using the tone() function

This example shows how to use the tone() command to generate notes. It plays a little melody you may have heard before.

Hardware Required

Vorwort zum Handbuch „Oh, wie cool! Oh, wie cool!“ hat ein 10­jähriger Junge bei der offenen kreativen digitalen Werkstatt „Maker Days for Kids“1 in Bad Reichenhall im April 2015 mehrere Minuten lang immer wieder gewispert, als er seine selbstgebastelte VR­Brille auf der Nase hatte und in die Tiefen der 3D­Welten von Achterbahnen und Jump­And­Run­Spielen eintauchte. „Oh, wie schön“ dachten sicher etliche der Eltern, als sie bei der abschließenden Ausstellung die Acrylbilder bestaunten, die nicht nur aus Collagen von unterschiedlichen Materialien und Farbe entstanden sind, sondern die auch noch mit funkelnden LEDs bestückt waren.

Und irritiert waren wohl die Ehrengäste bei der Abschlusspräsentation der „Maker Days for Kids“, als sie auf einmal selbst der Game­Controller waren, mit dem ein von Kindern programmiertes Spiel gelöst werden musste. Making, also das kreative Gestalten und Selbermachen, insbesondere mit digitalen Technologien, ist aufregend und spannend. Solche Making­Aktivitäten faszinieren Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene. Technisches Verständnis, kreatives Problemlösen, soziales Miteinander und handwerkliches Geschick werden dabei ganz nebenbei trainiert. Keine Frage, dass es für uns galt, die Erfahrungen der „Maker Days for Kids“ aufzubereiten, zu verbreiten und auch mit Erfahrungen von anderen Making­Aktiven zu ergänzen.

Nach den „Maker Days for Kids“ war das der erste offene, kostenlose Online­Kurs zum „Making mit Kindern“ auf der Plattform iMooX.at im Herbst 2015. Mehr als 600 Teilnehmer/innen haben sich bis zum Februar 2016 am Kurs beteiligt. Die Projektbeschreibungen des Kurses wurden nun für dieses Handbuch ergänzt und mit weiteren Texten versehen.

We saw tons of new stuff at CES this year. But one thing that particularly caught our eye was Kubo, the robot that teaches kids how to code.

Kubo is a pretty simple robot – it’s about the size of a can of soda and has two wheels that allow it to roll around a desk or table. But what it lacks in advanced physical ability it makes up for in brains.

Kubo comes with its own programming language called TagTile. The language consists of puzzle pieces that fit together to give Kubo instructions. For example, you could connect three pieces together – forward, turn, then another forward. Kubo then drives over these pieces oncer to “learn” the command, then can remember and perform it without needing the pieces.

Kubo reads the puzzle pieces using an RFID technology – each piece has an individual embedded RFID tag, and Kubo itself has a reader built in.

While it sounds simple, it’s a pretty good way to teach kids the basics of programming without having them stare at a screen.

FIRST Global organizes a yearly international robotics challenge to ignite a passion for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) among the more than two billion youths across the world.

The not-for-profit public charity provides the framework for an “olympics”-style robotics challenge where one team from every nation is invited to participate in a global robotics event that builds bridges between high school students with different backgrounds, languages, religions, and customs.

By bringing these future STEM leaders together in an engaging and collaborative competition that drives home the importance, excitement, and applicability of STEM education, FIRST Global inspires students to learn the skills they will need to make the discoveries their parents and grandparents would consider miracles, impossibilities, or just plain science fiction.

The purpose of this essay is to present a grander vision of an educational system in which technology is used not in the form of machines for processing children but as something the child himself will earn to manipulate, to extend, to apply to projects, thereby gaining a greater and more articulate mastery of the world, a sense of the power of applied knowledge and a self-confidently realistic image of himself as an intellectual agent. Stated more simply, I believe with Dewey, Montessori, and Piaget that children learn by doing and by thinking about what they do. And so the fundamental ingredients of educational innovation must be better things to do and better ways to think about oneself doing these things.

I claim that computation is by far the richest known source of these ingredients. We can give children unprecedented power to invent and carry out exciting projects by providing them with access to computers, with a suitably clear and intelligible programming language and with peripheral devices capable of producing on-line real-time action.

#Coding, A NEW Trend In #Education And A BIG #Responsibility

This colorful, easy-to-operate, and friendly little robot is a perfect tool for teaching sequencing, estimation, problem-solving, and just having fun!

Sturdy construction and colorful design entice children to put Bee-Bot through its paces. Directional keys are used to enter up to 40 commands which send Bee-Bot forward, back, left, and right. Pressing the green GO button starts Bee-Bot on its way. Bee-Bot blinks and beeps at the conclusion of each command to allow children to follow Bee-Bot through the program they have entered and then confirms its completion with lights and sound. Children want to use Bee-Bot over and over and are inspired to enter ever more creative and complex command sequences.

Bee-Bot moves in 6” steps and 90º turns. Compact size and durable materials make Bee-Bot child- and classroom-friendly. Bee-Bot is equally adaptable to home and school environments and boosts enthusiasm for experimentation and learning wherever it is used. Bee-Bot is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery. Recharging is done via a standard USB recharger or USB computer port. A USB recharger cable comes with each Bee-Bot.
