Вчера, SolidSmack објавена на гитарата Electric Loog-еден вид комплет за изградба на гитара што поттикнува прилагодување. Додека комплетите за градење постојат со децении, се чини дека постои заживување во интерес и за возрасните и за децата. Откако собраа над 160,000 американски долари на Kickstarter, со уште 29 дена до нивната 30-дневна кампања, Комплет за изградба-а-компјутер на Кано можеби само ја најдов слатката точка што луѓето ја бараат во „комплети“ базирани на STEM.
‘It Shouldn’t Be So Hard to Get Started’
As the above video states, seven-year olds are looking for a way to learn and create with Raspberry Pi that’s as simple as building with LEGO toys. With the surge of coding and other digital applications that are increasingly being pushed into STEM curricula (or at the least, ќе биде integrated into STEM curricula), there are a myriad of opportunities for teaching both the hardware and software side of computers:
“We often draw lines between things: art and science, code and design, STEM and the humanities. It makes “digital literacy” seem like brussels sprouts – good for you, but hard to chew….it shouldn’t be so hard to get started – to make, play and experiment right out of the box.”
In their clever pre-campaign marketing video, the Kano team presented just how easy it is to assemble their product and get fired up into coding with it:
Among other possibilities, here are a few of the things that the Kano team sees the sub-$100 computer being used for:
- Games like Pong, Snake
- Музика и звуци
- HD видео
- Говорник
- Towers of dynamite (…in Minecraft)
- Безжичен сервер
- A custom case, with stickers, decals, or any printed design
