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 winsWhen 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 MinutesPrograms are built by picking and connecting pre-existing components. Start by tweaking one of the 25 provided examples.Dig Deeper as you Get BetterSome FlowStone components are actually nuggets of Ruby code. As you refine your creations, youll start hacking and your coding confidence will grow.Get Immediate FeedbackGive 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 ItchCuriosity 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.Tech SpecsMCU STM32F415RG ARM 32-bit Cortex-M4 1024 KB of Flash Memory 192 KB SRAM 168 MHz Connectivity 4 mikroBUS sockets 4 Digital inputs 4 Analog inputs 192 KB SRAM 8 Servo Motor outputs FlowStoneCompatible with Windows 8/7/Vista/XP/2000Requires at least 512 MB RAM.
