Description

MicroWorlds EX is an environment in which pupils can explore and test their ideas as they create science simulations, mathematical experiments, interactive multimedia stories, whatever they can imagine! The Robotics Edition includes programming features for LEGO RCX.

Features
  • All the features of MicroWorlds EX plus full programming capabilities for LEGO RCX(tm) the programmable brick.
  • Build a model and control it using the procedures you download to the Cricket or to the LEGO RCX(tm) programmable brick.
  • Test programming ideas by sending instructions from the computer via the LEGO infrared tower to the RCX brick or via the Interface Cricket to the Cricket.
  • Language based rather than icon-based environment
  • Use MicroWorlds EX features to build an onscreen presentation or simulation in which an onscreen event triggers the model to start.
  • Your model can also gather data as it runs - data that can be displayed using other MicroWorlds EX Robotics features.
  • Your model can also gather data as it runs - data that can be displayed using other MicroWorlds EX Robotics features.
Benefits
  • Build onscreen presentations or simulations that describe, animate, and enhance your robotics creation. No need to use a different presentaiton software! You can even create an onscreen action that triggers your invention to start at a pre-determined time, fully integrating the on and off-screen project components.
  • Immediate feedback makes debugging easier. Students can test and evaluate their design step-by-step.
  • Students create onscreen displays in whatever format suits their learning styles. Helps students understand, analyze, and evaluate the information they gather
  • Gives children a language with which they can talk about their idea and strategies for investigating their questions.
