Based on the first generation of our ELECFREAKS Retro Arcade device, we’ve made another generation with the function of combing the micro:bit board as well as the Arcade. This means that we can both program it no matter on the micro:bit MakeCode or on the Microsoft Arcade platform.

Many students have greater aptitudes and affinities for the arts and humanities or mathematics and sciences. STEAM education takes an integrated and holistic approach that helps students understand these disciplines as part of a larger whole. Instead of being sidelined or excluded from a particular issue, you can work with others to solve problems and see the issues you're struggling with differently.

More and more parents are using the BBC micro:bit board as the first coding toy for children learning programming from scratch. The BBC micro:bit board is a pocket-sized computer that introduces you to how software and hardware work together. It has an LED light display, a built-in microphone, a speaker, buttons, sensors, and many input/output features that, when programmed, let it interact with you and your world.

As ELECFREAKS’ best-selling product, what makes it unique? Why do stem teachers around the world who want to choose classroom teaching supplies and parents who want to take their children to self-study at home choose Cutebot car when faced with multiple choices?

You may be reading this article and you have a need: you just bought a new device online, a color sensor, a programmable book bag, or a 24-way servo control board or something like that. You can't find the driver library for this new device in MicroBlocks' built-in library of building blocks, but if you want to use MicroBlocks to program the new device, what should you do?

Don't worry, this article is just for you.

The make code arcade controller is a popular collective input set device and the typical type consists of a joystick and numerous push buttons. Make code Arcade is a recent proposal raised by Microsoft, it has positioned itself as one of the best educational environments for creative programming, mainly to create video games.

I've used most graphical hardware programming platforms, probably more products than most product managers in this field.

That's not something to brag about, it just means I've wasted more time than anyone else on a myriad of programming platforms, and it means I've been slow to come across a really good product.

Unfortunately, as a rule, this is what computer education is all about. Learners spend many hours learning nothing but the bad ideas of the system designers.

Fortunately, John Maloney brought light to the field and ended my life of bouncing around from platform to platform.

The laser engraver we are familiar with will only appear in some large factories or workshops, and people cannot use it in their underground warehouses or homes. When the global epidemic is severe, people have no way to go out for activities and can only spend time at home. Therefore, all kinds of exquisite small gifts, or furniture, accessories, etc., have been made.

So naturally, the tools to make these things are also selling well. Therefore, a low-power version of the laser engraver suitable for home use was born.

As we all know, ELECFREAKS recently developed a development board based on RP2040--Pico:ed. Compared with the official Pico, this board is more suitable for classroom use. It is similar to micro:bit's gold finger edge connector and is also compatible with all micro:bit kits developed by ELECFREAKS.

I wonder if you are confused when giving toys to your children as to what kind of things they will enjoy and have meaning. In recent years, the STEAM concept has become popular, aiming to develop children's multi-threaded working skills through creative play and learning inspiration in a holistic manner. With this, STEAM toys have become the perfect starter toys for young creators.
