Programming Support
Drag and drop coding with mDesigner
mCookie series stackable modules can be programmed using drag-and-drop coding with mDesigner. mDesigner is based on MIT’s Scratch 3. Users will be immediately familiar with the standard Scratch interface, but with added support to control and interact with our mCookie modules. This method is great for beginners learning to code.
Text based coding with Arduino IDE
mCookie series modules can be programmed in the traditional text based coding using the Arduino IDE with added Microduino support.
Python coding with mDesigner
mDesigner also provides the option of programming with Python.
Progressive Use
Itty Bitty Buggy is Microduino’s newest STEM educational toy that has endless design possibilities and exciting configurations.
The Itty Bitty Buggy kit comes with a base Buggy plus four opportunities to build a sloth, a ladybug, a dodo bird and an alien.
Want to modify one of the projects or create your own? Perfect! Itty Bitty Buggy is programmable in Scratch, Python or Arduino. Each project is controllable over Bluetooth with our app (Android / iOS).
At Microduino, we deliver on our goal of sparking creativity, thinking skills and applying logic through play.
Itty Bitty Buggy is a code programmable toy (CPT). A user can add remote control functions, color recognition ability and voice control.
All of Microduino’s STEM toys are LEGO compatible, too, so the possibilities for creating something extremely unique with Itty Bitty Buggy is a within reach of every child with an imagination.
Itty Bitty Buggy is fun to build! The programming is easy to understand so even beginners and those new to the maker world can create their very own Itty Bitty Buggy.
With programming instructions included, creating an Itty Bitty Buggy teaches kids the logic behind the function while they are building and playing. The end result is two-fold:
- Learn how to build a versatile, exciting toy that can perform many functions.
- Use and apply logic, and problem solving.
The programming skills they learn are mDesigner (based on Scratch), Python, and Arduino (C++).
Itty Bitty Buggy is truly an educational toy that lowers the barriers to STEM education.
Itty Bitty Buggy hardware is based on the Microduino’s mCookie series. Learn more about the mCookie series here.
