S2 Programming Set for Secondary Education STEM

S2 Programming Set for Secondary Education STEM

S2 Programming Set for Secondary Education STEM set in continuation of basic education with S1 Programming Set, offering students more complex activities, more programming commands and learning in a wider range of applications and experiences in programming.

The system includes the ARD:icon programmable microcontroller, accompanied by a series of peripheral devices, sensors and actuators, Polytech’s ARD:icon development and programming software with the necessary teaching and supporting educational material, ideal for secondary (highschool) students.

The S2 Programming Set for Secondary Education STEM is also micro:bit ready (micro:bit V2.0 board sold sepatately). For the interconnection and operation of the entire system, the set contains the microSHIELD interface, an electronic device necessary for connecting the devices to micro:bit using only one cable.

Its design makes the system ideal for training in programming and controlling devices through the board language, as well as introducing programming in Arduino and C/C++ languages. It allows students with no experience, background in electronic circuits and computer knowledge to learn programming by creating basic control circuits, implementing exciting technical activities.

The S2 Programming Set comes with a set of placement guides of compatible bricks (Lego type) and a base for placing/building the activities. These plastic parts (Lego type) are durable and suitable for use by children. It is selected as a suitable educational material in Secondary School (grades 1-3) STEM-Robotics education by the Hellenic Ministry of Education.
