Programming in Primary School:

Fischertechnik Calliope introduces students from the third grade to the principles of programming in an easily understandable way. The kit includes Fischertechnik components for building three stationary models. With the help of sensors and actuators, students can first construct simple models like hand dryers, traffic lights, and barriers according to the building instructions, and then control them using the Calliope board. Fischertechnik Calliope can be used in guided and free lessons and provides young students with an accessible entry point into the world of programming. The accompanying didactic guidebook with teacher and lesson materials offers a step-by-step guide for setup and various tasks. The teaching materials are available for free download on the eLearning portal.
