Description:
The Digital Sandbox (DS) is a learning platform that involves both software and hardware. It's powered by a microcontroller that can interact with real-world inputs — like light or temperature sensors — and at the same time control LEDs, motors, and other outputs. The Digital Sandbox is equipped with everything, on-board, that you'll need to complete 13 experiments that include controlling an LED, measuring how loud things are, detecting what the temperature is, and more.
To interconnect the Sandbox to the computer via a USB cable, the sandbox can be programmed using the Arduino programming environment. To further simplify the learning experience, we have designed the Sandbox and its guide around the use of a simple "block programming" called Ardublock. Using ArduBlock — a simple, graphical version of the popular Arduino programming language — you will be able to program all the experiments with a simple graphical interface instead of writing code.
