Here @ DSPRobotics we have been working with lots of schools, colleges, and universities, as well as teachers, pupils and parents all over the world with one aim: To encourage young people to get involved with Technology, become Digitally Literate and more importantly be inspired!
We are not talking about being able to wow your friends with the latest iPhone app, send emails or SMS messages but really get involved by creating your own new technology using a combination of computer programming and physical electronic systems that move, flash, buzz, measure, display etc. Not in the virtual world but real physical things that you control and create.
We call this new world of discovery: Creative Physical Computing!
In order to bring ‘Creative Physical Computing’ to life we needed two things:
1) Some amazing easy to use software
2) Some amazing versatile yet simple hardware
For the first time ever we have both elements ready at the same time – software and hardware:
FlowStone – the award winning programming language with both graphical and code elements, that is easy to learn and teach.
FlowPaw – The physical hardware with almost limitless applications.
Above is the story of how it all started:
