Step-by-step guides & videos make learning & teaching a breeze!

Electronics

Programming

Sensors

& much more!

Start your journey by learning about electronic components, theory and application.
 

Learn to design and construct electronic circuits!

Learn about coding, including the concepts of data and data processing leading to practical application.

We have our very own coding language called Octagon, which is great for beginners and an ideal segue into other programming languages.

Discover how sensors work from our huge range, use your electronics knowledge to connect them to the JackBord, then use programming to collect the data! Test for  temperature and humidity, soil moisture, light, Ph, water cleanliness, range, numerous possibilities.

Delivering curriculum and providing achievement standards couldn't be easier with easy to understand video guides and activities.

Learners need no prior knowledge and can learn at their own pace

Teachers take control of own professional development in IT. Keep ahead of the students. No prior knowledge required and learn at your own pace and place with our easy to follow video guides and activities.

Our own, built-in, programming language
Easy to learn and use and a fantastic stepping stone to more complex languages such as Python or Java Script.
More advanced programmers can skip programme JackBord using Python.
It couldn't be easier!

Build robots, toys, games, science projects, weather  stations, testing environments, greenhouses, pendulums, tools ...-you name it.
Bolt on JacKano, our precision laser cut, aluminium parts which you put together using real nuts 'n bolts.  
The possibilities are in the hands of users.

Keep water, soil moisture or air cleanliness monitoring projects going for months on end with our static "Keepers".
Analyse the data with Octagon

Use anywhere, anytime.

Wi fi / IR enabled.

Learners can carry on their projects online / at home  on their own DashBoard.

No need to take away the hardware

MeKits are special collections of parts we have put together to give learners a head start with projects in Science, Horticulture, Robotics, Electronics, Construction.  
These will inspire them to make their own projects using an array of sensors, servos, motors and JacKano available.  

 

Learn basic electronics with no prior knowledge with the amazing TOP. 
With built in LEDs, resistors, capacitors, transistors, switches build circuits and bring electronics alive.
Understanding electronics is the foundation to programming and robotics.

Work with the local community to monitor a local stream's water quality, an area's micro climate or air quality,  wi fi hot spots, or build a beach cleaning robot (picture above). The possibilities are limited only by imaginations 

Ideal for library after school or holiday programmes, Youth groups
