• Make Do Educators with ideas.

Makedo needs little introduction; find some cardboard, grab some Makedo tools and get started.

The awesomeness of Makedo is that children learn by doing, creating, experimenting, failing and maybe succeeding but that's not essential.

The creations then open the door to imaginative play where the child is protagonist in a hack-able world of their own making.

• Activities
• Note: When Jenkins tried programming it with an iPhone X, it would get connected, but then lose connections once he tried to control it. Could be because of the phone case.

A meeperBOT is like a blank canvas on wheels for Legos (and other building block toys, like Mega Bloks). Kids can build onto the meeperBOT, then use the Meeper app on their cell phone to drive the bot like a toy car. ... The locator, carried by the errant kid, would make a “meep” sound when called, hence the name.

• Programming resources and purpose of programming

Strawbees is an award-winning, light-weight, construction system for all ages. It is a kit based on simple units called Strawbees, that lets you connect straws to each other and build little to huge mechanical objects from just straws and cardboard. We believe playing and having fun is the best way to learn about the world, so we tried to bring this into classrooms with Strawbees EDU.

We partner up with world class educators that share our values, to co-create quality content and curriculums for classrooms to be used along with Strawbees. Since our curriculums are available in 5 levels: easy, medium, hard, expert and legendary, there’s something for everyone. Strawbees is great stand alone, but gets even better with added technology which is why we have partnered up with some major educational electronics out there. It works as the mechanical output for LittleBits, Micro:Bit, Arduino, Quirkbot, MakeyMakey, RaspberryPi, LEGO and Vex, and greatly improves their applications.
