The kit is designed for both children's robotics clubs and school physics classes.
It can also be used in summer camps and one-time workshops.

AGE OF CHILDREN10–18

BOARD & SOFTWARE

Tapanda is a large breadboard with many electronic elements on it.

BOARD + SOFTWARE

The breadboard connects to a computer. There is special software for it. The software displays the circuit and the currents in it on the screen. It has a built-in electronic textbook. The software gives tasks and checks that the children are doing them correctly. The breadboard has a built-in microcontroller controlled with Scratch.

LEARNING & TEACHING

It boosts children's interest and reduces the workload for teachers.

Visualization on the screen helps children to understand the physical processes in the circuits. Fast learning keeps their interest alive.

The teacher no longer needs to come to each student to check tasks. He can monitor the class's progress, and provide assistance as needed.
