Overview

Foldio Starter Kit with CALLIOPE 2.0

Description

Foldio starter set for CALLIOPE mini
The Foldio starter set with CALLIOPE mini enables children to learn early the conscious and critical handling of computer systems and gives them a playful introduction to the world of programming.

In our detailed and illustrated guide around Finn, the Foldio Fuchs and Raja, the Foldio Elk, you will find various exciting stories with associated missions that will gradually introduce children to elementary concepts of computer science. The children can learn and deepen the learning content independently and in a playful way.

This box helps children:
- How the digital world can merge with the physical world
- That they themselves can participate in the design of the digital world
- The basics of the CALLIOPE mini computer board
- A first step into programming
- How programming languages are structured (EVA principle)

Our Foldio starter set is the perfect introduction to the CALLIOPE mini function in a playful and motivating way.

With 6 bits. CALLIOPE 3.0 mini icon
The CALLIOPE mini is a micro-controller, which is used as an educational medium for children starting from the third class, generally under the supervision of adults.
The CALLIOPE mini shows that all can code and that too with a lot of fun. It's easy to get started, so that children, teachers and parents can get started without any prior knowledge. From the first self-programmed flashing through self-propelled robots to wirelessly communicating with CALLIOPE mini-warms: With a few clicks, you can create your own programs for the microprocessor on a connected computer, which bring the CALLIOPE mini to life.
