Want to write the next killer app or game and put it on the iTunes store? Do you want to be able to open and close the curtains in your bedroom using your iPhone or Android? Are you interested in programming but don't quite no where to start? The world is exploding with computers - both large and small, and increasingly you need to understand computer programming in order to understand the world, how it works, and how to improve it.
Learning how to program can be a daunting task. There are numerous programming languages, computer platforms, and development environments and each comes with numerous 500+ page manuals that can be quite intimidating.
We created this company with one goal in mind: to help young adults learn how to program in modern programming languages (for example C/C++, Visual Basic) and to be able to have the necessary electronics skills to have their programs interact with the environment. Whether you want to measure heart rate, turn on and off lights, open and close doors, detect motion or acceleration, you need to be able to receive and transmit signals to external devices and process them with your software.
Each of our educational products teach a specific set of software and electronics concepts and uses these skills to control various sensors and transducers. Each product builds on the skills learned in the previous product so as you move through the Series of educational products you learn more complex subject matter.
Many educational programs like this use breadboards to build the hardware for the current lesson and then disassemble it to move on to the next lesson. We have chosen to take a different approach. As part of each product, you will construct and program a complete "device" that will remain fully functional and expandable when you move on to the next Pack. In addition, each Pack comes with a 3D printed enclosure for your device. Should you want to modify the enclosure to add additional sensors/transducers, the "3D printer source" code is available on our site so that you may do that.
