Why Physical Computing Beats Screen-Only Coding?
UK schools report 68% higher retention with hardware projects (2024 STEM Council).
The Building:bit Kit’s "One Kit Infinite Bots" approach solves three core education challenges:
1. Super:bit Board = Professional Skills
4-Port PWM: Teach signal modulation via laser-tag systems
I2C/SPI: Sensor networks for weather monitoring bots
Motor Drivers: Torque experiments in sumo wrestling robots
2. 16 Models = 16 Learning Journeys
Radar Truck: Trigonometry in distance calculations
Drawing Robot: Cartesian coordinate practice
Self-Balancer: Real-world PID control theory
3. Coding Pathway for All Ages
MakeCode Blocks → Python Functions → Object-Oriented Robotics
