The good folks at Microduino sent over a review sample of their latest educational STEM toy called Itty Bitty Buggy. It’s a code programmable toy which allows for endless possibilities for young creative minds. Equally intriguing is the kit’s compatibility with LEGOs. Our team at CuteMonster HQ have been running the toy through its paces and we plan to offer a full review in the near future. In the interim, for the spirit of National STEM day, we’re offering a giveaway of another cool Microduino educational toy, namely, mPie.
What is mPie?
According to Microduino:
Designed for children ages 7 and up, mPie is based on magnetic modules. mPie builds upon mPuzzle’s foundational circuity lessons and hardware components. The color-coded magnetic modules teach kids introductory hardware coding as well as more advanced electronic and product design concepts.
Using mPie, kids discover the world of hardware coding. The magnetic modules help them visualize the logical and sequential order of things in a physical and engaging way. mPie’s intermediate lessons enable children to link concepts between the physical and virtual worlds. Projects they construct include everyday items, such as a rocket, ambulance, and fly swatter. Common objects with which they are already familiar. mPie projects increase in complexity so children learn the importance of sequence in design and fabrication. They master how to identify and resolve problems when certain sequences are not followed.
