Well, based on our projects in the company, mostly we are focusing to change the education from formal to informal learning. So, I was thinking if I could contribute company goals and create a game-based education. FAB Academy gives this chance to come up with this project to how we could teach kids simple math operations in a fun and interactive way. That could interact with kids to start learning the four simple operations of math (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). This project targeting elementary schools for the first three levels.
I was working in one of company project and I was using littleBits kits and I was wondering if someday I could build my own project that might be used to teach kids simple things. Today I strive to achieve this goal through FAB Academy.
I have done an initial modeling using Onshape to start imagination the project parts and how it works!
The Project content :
As for the electronics part of the project, it will be simple and easy to do and use at the same time. It's all about creating a system to make the calculations (adding, subtracting, multipling, and dividing) the numbers that include two digits each (4 bits each). the result could be 4 digits maximum. The idea is to make an interactive educational system instead of having somting fixed and with no interaction as usual tools.
