Tokymini Unplugged Elementary School STEAM Kit

TokyLabs designed a hardware kit to mix craftsmanship, decoration, electronics, and coding. Kids will have exposure to skills required at their age plus extra advanced learning in the full course provided. The Tokymini is the perfect no-screen STEAM kit for early learners. They learn coding with physical puzzle-like pieces and connect sensors and actuators to Tokymini to build unique STEAM projects.

Too much screen time can make it hard for children to sleep at night, creating early sight problems and raising the risk for attention problems, anxiety, and depression. Consequently, parents want to reduce screen time while encouraging their kids to learn programming and new technologies.

Tokylabs invented a puzzle system that snaps together to make all sorts of programs and tech projects. It comes with a device (Tokymini) that reads the physical program and connects sensors and actuators to make inventions such as an automated home, a coin counter, a fan, or even a remote controlled robot.

Tokymini's curriculum is built around designing, building, and coding projects related to music, art, and engineering. Its structure comprises 70% craftsmanship, creativity, and critical thinking, and 30% coding and electronics. It is best suited to kids ages 6 to 9 years old – total beginners in programming. The Tokymini is the perfect choice to start the first steps into the world of technology and STEM without compromising children’s health.

Features

• Unplugged experience: No need to use any electronic device or screen; Tokymini reads the code made of the physical puzzle pieces directly from the table
• Creativity: Young learners get their hands on physical projects and build them following their imagination; the curriculum is built in a way that leaves room for self-expression with unique designs using everyday objects
• Advanced learning: Thanks to TokyLabs’ unplugged technology, kids can make their first algorithms and connect simple electronic components; this goes beyond the classic robot that moves from point A to point B; it is actual coding and electronics with endless possibilities
• Plug-and-play: The electronics are specially designed to be easily connected using two cables and connectors that can only be joined in one direction
• Full course included: Provided with the Tokymini kit is access to the TokyLabs Academy; users will find many interesting projects, ranging from simple ones to start to more advanced and impressive projects as skills develop
