Do It Yourself

Do It Yourself

Our vision is to offer engaging approaches for enhancing programming and STEM related skills through activities which do not increase screen time. Our approach uses hands-on educational play to provide a healthy environment for adults and children to learn how to program and develop STEM skills.

We have designed a series of DIY wooden computers and consoles based on the Raspberry PI single board computer. These can bought already assembled or they can be bought in parts which can be assembled at home using a blueprint. Visit our webshop for more information and the models on sale.

We constantly work on developing new content and games based on the Minecraft Pi and Scratch environments for learners of all ages.

Fostering STEM through Retro-gaming consoles - RETROSTEM:

A DIY computer to be assembled by teachers and kids in the classroom and used for supporting the curriculum and practical applications. If features a curriculum with modules, including unit plans, for using Minecraft Pi with the computer in the classroom complemented by DIY Electronics Kits to further enhance the hands-on play and learning components of RETROSTEM.

PLAY2LEARN:

Blue prints for an easy to build computer (based on Raspberry Pi) which teachers, parents and children can assemble themselves. The DIY computer is complemented by a bundle of resources for educators and teachers but also parents to use it for teaching children how to program but also enhance their understanding of STEM related subjects.  The computer works with DIY electronics, Minecraft Pi and scratch programs and games.

PhysicsKIT4STEM promotes a gender-balanced STEM education through DIY Kits for teaching physics in the classroom. Students will learn Physics through a curriculum which links coding and other STEM subjects, such as engineering, computing, technology, math and overall science. Students will also experiment with sensors and electronics through a do-it-yourself Kit, powered by a Raspberry Pi enabling them to build electronic circuits using a wide range of sensors, electronic components and other peripherals. Finally, key skills for employability will be cultivated, such as problem solving, teamwork, creativity and initiative.
