FlowPaw

FlowPaw is a development board disguised as an electronics toy. Intended to teach children to programming and hardware, the kit comprises a main board, four Click Board™s, and a graphical programming software called FlowStone STEM.

FlowPaws four claws with Click Board™ sockets, each Click Board™ adds a new functionality to the paw. Included in the box are a proximity sensor, a 8x8 LED display, an accelerometer and a buzzer.

Make Learning Fun and Engaging

Kids are curious, but keeping their attention is hard. Especially now when toddlers are swiping, zooming and tapping iPads before theyre potty trained. And the available digital distraction sure dont decline with age.

Still, technology is much more fascinating than slicing fruit mid-air. You just need a right way to present it.Take a step in the right direction.

FlowStone - A series of small wins

When children get immersed into a fun activity its like theyve fallen under a spell eyes widen, the breath is still. But even then, theyre tiptoeing on the edge of boredom. As soon as it gets too repetitive the spell is broken. Make it too challenging again it doesnt work.

The key to keep the junior code learner spellbound is to provide a steady stream of small wins early on. Thats what Flowstone™ the programming software that comes with FlowPaw™ is designed to do.

Get the Hang of it in 10 Minutes

Programs are built by picking and connecting pre-existing components. Start by tweaking one of the 25 provided examples.

Dig Deeper as you Get Better

Some FlowStone components are actually nuggets of Ruby code. As you refine your creations, youll start hacking and your coding confidence will grow.

Get Immediate Feedback

Give it a shot. Try and fail. Try again. A rapid succession of trial and error is the quickest way to learn and FlowPaw responds in real-time.

Keep Scratching the Curiosity Itch

Curiosity feels like an itch; the more you scratch it by finding answers to questions and learning new stuff the more it itches.

FlowPaws four claws with Click Board™ sockets will keep you scratching. Each Click Board™ adds a new functionality to the paw.

Included in the box are a proximity sensor, a 8x8 LED display, an accelerometer and a buzzer.
