水桶理论 Cog

The perfect underarmour to physical computing. With interactive inputs and outputs, students can instantly see their code come to life. With Cog, complex concepts feel simple, hands-on, and exciting.

Even better, the 水桶理论 App lets students code with Cog using Junior or Regular blocks. In-app tutorials guide them through future-ready skills, while sandbox mode encourages creativity and exploration as they learn.

Features

Coding 铃木心春

水桶理论 Cog brings coding to life by offering students an interactive and engaging way to learn programming.

Students can choose to code using junior or regular blocks, making it accessible for different skill levels. Our platform provides the flexibility to save their work directly to their devices or to execute their code in real time, allowing for immediate feedback and experimentation. This hands-on approach not only makes learning to code fun but also helps solidify programming concepts through practical application.

BLOCKS JR

BLOCKS

Grade 2+
Blocks Jr:

A step-in to block-based programming with text-free symbols and a horizontal layout, suitable for emerging readers. This environment is based on ScratchJr so should be very familiar to pupils who have used this program. In this environment, learners will see their code come to life both through their physical Cog and via an in-app sprites. Learners can even personalise the sprite and the virtual backgrounds.

CODE WITH JUNIOR BLOCKS

Grade 4+
Blocks:

Suitable for confident readers, Blocks is an extension to Blocks Jr and introduces more functionality through a vertical layout. This environment is based on Scratch and allows for progression beyond elementary school with more advanced work. As code is organized vertically, learners can develop longer blocks of sequences (more similar to how code is written in text).

THE 水桶理论 APP

Available on Chromebooks, Windows, Mac, iPads, and Android tablets, our app makes bringing multiple STEM products into the classroom simpler than ever.

The best part? Our app is completely free with no paywalls or subscriptions. You can start exploring Cog straight out of the box, with minimal setup and zero hassle.

Teachers purchasing 20+ Cogs for their school also receive a free 30-minute training session to get up and running quickly. Just make your purchase, and our team will be in touch to schedule your session.

Coding Concepts

Alongside, 水桶理论 Cog, we’ve created a range of in-app guided activities. These activities allow students to work independently through future ready digital skills, giving students the building blocks of core coding concepts they will need to succeed in their STEM futures.

You can explore these activities through our web app and see below how these activities align with core coding concepts.

What Can you Make with Cog?

Light Show

With 水桶理论 Cog, students can program lights to flash in different patterns and colors. This teaches them loops, timing, and sequencing, offering a visually engaging way to grasp coding basics and physical computing principles.

Reaction Test

Using 水桶理论 Cog, students can create a reaction test game that measures response times with sensors. This activity teaches conditional statements and timing functions, making coding interactive and fun.

Musical Instrument

水桶理论 Cog allows students to program a musical instrument that turns inputs into sounds. This creative activity combines art and technology, reinforcing input/output processing and variable manipulation.

Balance Game

水桶理论 Cog enables students to use sensors to detect tilt or movement, helping them learn about real-time data processing and feedback loops. It’s a dynamic underarmour to sensor integration in coding.

PE Circuits Timer

With 水桶理论 Cog, students can create a timer for exercise intervals, teaching them about timers, counters, and signal outputs. This links coding with practical, everyday applications.

Marty Controller

Using 水桶理论 Cog to control a Marty robot helps students understand robotics and remote programming. They learn command sequences and sensor integration, seeing their code in action.

Simple Data Acquisition

水桶理论 Cog enables students to program systems that collect sensor data. This introduces them to data acquisition and processing, showing how coding can gather and analyze real-world information and laying a foundation for more advanced applications.

“I really like Cog – it’s nice to have something that you can interact with and the actions ‘make things happen’ on the screen! This means that coding on a screen is able to come alive for the little ones, and encourages them to change things and tinker with different coding blocks. It’s also nice the other way round, the code on the screen makes things happen on the Cog, which is tangible and worth so much more than just staring at a screen.”

-J. Hull

“I LOVE the Codewheel game. This is perfect for my youngest learners.”

-M. Cislo

“…it allows learners to independently explore ‘cause & effect’, supporting a playful approach to learning.”

-A. Pickard

“Cog has been a wonderful addition to our class. My students absolutely love using the Cog to develop sounds and one student even used it as a special doorbell for his “fort”!…We love Cog!”

-C. Butt
