Cart is empty What Is PicoBricks? How Is It Used In STEAM Activities?
PicoBricks eliminates the difficulties of electronic programming. It is a project development card that aims to create more creative projects instead of wasting time with these difficulties.
STEAM is an interdisciplinary educational approach that enables the use of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics fields together. It aims to provide students with the ability to solve a problem by using the steps of computational thinking. STEAM is a frequently used approach in electronic programming education, as students actively use all STEAM disciplines during electronic programming activities.
Thanks to its modular structure, Picobricks eliminates difficulties in physical programming such as soldering, cable mess and incorrect connection of pin points. At the same time, the microcontroller card Raspberry Pi Pico is easy to code and it is supported by many coding platforms, so it eliminates the difficulty experienced in the programming phase.
Since PicoBricks eliminates these difficulties in physical programming, it makes it easier for students to develop their skills such as creating algorithms and problem solving by generating more creative ideas during STEAM activities.
PicoBricks Teacher Book enables teachers to integrate electronic programming education into their lessons by using STEAM disciplines together with PicoBricks.
PicoBricks Teacher Book contains computerized and unplugged STEAM activities, fascicles and worksheets for teachers to use.
International Computer Science (CSTA K-12) Standards and STEAM Activities
The PicoBricks Teacher Book is an educational book for 21st-century teachers, based on international computer science (CSTA K-12) standards. Teachers provide international computer science (CSTA K-12) standards by using STEAM activities in the PicoBricks Teacher Book. The standards provided by each section are specified at the end of the section.
