Pedagogical Approach

Secondary education is responsible for further developing students’ interests and personal traits, such as good learning habits, their cognitive abilities and healthy social-emotional competences. It prepares students to be independent in their future careers and helps them plan accordingly.

Makeblock Education secondary school solutions are designed to develop students’ higher-order thinking and coding skills. They include well-equipped teaching resources and elaborate programming projects, as well as fostering the development of critical thinking and problem solving. Students are encouraged to assume the role of innovators and entrepreneurs. The range of products is ideal for hands-on-project and inquiry-based learning with a natural progression into complex science and technology topics.

mBot2 + CyberPi

Networkable Educational Robot for Computer Science and STEAM Education

mBot2 is a next-generation educational robot designed for secondary education, offering a low entry level
but extending to a higher educational ceiling.

It is powered by CyberPi, an educational microcontroller with enhancements such as networking capabilities, precise control and much more.

mBot2 is designed for students to carry out interactive and smart lessons that are engaging, fun and reflect real-world applications with cutting-edge technologies, including robotics, AI, IoT and Data Science.

With mBlock’s enhanced coding learning experience, mBot2 allows students and educators to begin with
the block-based coding approach, then seamlessly transition into object-oriented coding with Python,
all in the same environment.

Powered by Cyberpi

CyberPi is a powerful and versatile microcontroller for education. Its integrated sensors, full-colour display and Wi-Fi communication capability create a broad coverage of curriculum topics in Computer Science, Robotics, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, as well as other areas of the curriculum – Mathematics, Physics, etc.

Precision control

The encoder motors on mBot2 can be precisely controlled by their rotation, speed and position, making possible the integration of conceptual Mathematics, Physics and Engineering.

Enhanced modules

mBot2 comes with next-generation Ultrasonic, with illumination, and Quad RGB sensors to detect colours while following lines on four spots at the same time, offering extremely accurate performance and consistency. It can be further expanded with Makeblock Education’s wide variety of mBuild smart electronic modules and structural parts.

Block-based Programming

Seamless transition from block-based programming to microPython encourages students to learn high-level object-oriented languages.

After grasping block-based programming, mBlock offers the ability to convert to microPython with just one click. Learners can see the relationship between the two languages, view changes in real time
and enable a smooth transition from blocks to microPython programming.

When using CyberPi and its Pocket Shield, it can be connected and programmed with various components, including mBuild platform, Arduino sensors, DC motors, servos, LED strips and more.

Python 3 Programming

Explore the powerful Python 3 programming language in AI, IoT and Data Science, becoming a true problem solver and independent thinker. When ready to programme solely using a text-based language, the mBlock Python editor offers a feature-rich environment for students to gain familiarity with programming in Python.

mBlock 5 Python editor offers a great experience to enable Python programming on CyberPi. The Python editor offers full Python 3 experience and includes CyberPi as a library to be programmed with numerous other libraries offered by the Python community, including AI library TensorFlow and graphic library TurtleDraw.
