Crumble Class Kit

A cross-curricular STEM class kit for 30 pupils working in groups of 3 to design, build, test and evaluate four different computer controlled working models incorporating structures, mechanical and electrical systems.

• They will apply their understanding of computing to programming, monitor and control their products, which include a coloured spinner, LED traffic lights, chair-o-plane and a light which comes on in the dark.

• The Crumble controller is ideal for Key Stage 2 pupils. It is robust and easy to connect up, uses a simple drag and drop programming language and directly drives motors, lamps and LEDs. The controller unit is re-used for all four projects in order to keep costs to a minimum.

• Comprehensive supporting literature for each project leads pupils through the process of design, make, program, test and evaluate. As well as a lesson plan, a PowerPoint, pupil workbook and ‘how to’ blog is included for each of the models.
