The Makeblock Education design process allows students to Understand, Explore, and Visualize. Thus, the process gives all students the ability to fully engage with age appropriate expectations.

mBlock 5 can be accessed through an online browser, the app, or downloaded to PC or Mac. The software allows students the ability to control a character by dragging and connecting the individual code blocks to create a program. At this level, mBlock 5 can be utilized with CyberPi and the mBot line.

mBlock 5 is ideal to teach the basic principles of programming for middle school students. This can be done through block-based programming. As a result, students can then make the first steps into more advanced computer science concepts.

CyberPi is a single-board computer fully packed with advanced electronic sensors, actuators, and communication modules. It’s one of the best tools for teaching Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Networks, and the Internet of Things. In combination with our impressive mBlock 5 coding editor, it supports block-based coding and the text-based programming language Python.

Makeblock Education strives to deliver solutions that foster a growth mindset in the next generation of problem solvers by developing 21st century skills in students around the world. The solutions for middle schoolers are ideal for hands-on learning experiences and learning all fundamentals of programming.

mBlock 5 is a one-stop programming platform designed for computer science, STEAM, and computational thinking in elementary education and beyond. It supports both block-based and text-based programming languages.

Age brackets 6-13 and 12-16

MakeX Starter is a beginner’s level competition that equips participants with the knowledge and skills of mBot and block-based programming. Throughout, the competition engages students with a problem-driven approach. By utilizing various sensors and mechanical tools, participants need to collaborate to create their team’s design. Meanwhile, participants develop a practical understanding of engineering, programming, and problem solving. MakeX Starter is a fun and challenging competition that encourages a creative mindset, problem-solving skills, and above all collaboration.
