Bett2020 100
In this series I will be writing about my experiences of Bett2020 – products, impressions – in vignettes of exactly 100 words. Why 100 words? Because I wanted to see whether or not it was possible. I will try where appropriate to provide links to further information.
3D programming models, by Terry Freedman
I saw two products that might bear further scrutiny, from DF Robot, who do various kits. You can choose the kit designed to work for different age groups, and with different devices (Micro:bit etc). One car kit introduces AI, though I'm not sure how it can be developed once it has been taught to recognise things. Pupils can use a primary kit of 60 blocks, which all have different functions, to build a 3d computer program in effect. I have my doubts about whether building a model is helpful beyond a certain age, but it has a certain appeal.
