Jewelbots - The STEM Wearable That Teaches Coding!

Description

Jewelbots are the first of its kind, an open source wearable friendship bracelet where kids dictate the functionality! Jewelbots lets kids communicate with each other, making it a is a truly unique social STEM toy. Who says programming has to be solitary? Out of the box kids can connect with up to 8 different friends and give them a friendship color. If a friend is nearby the Jewelbot will glow in their color and friends can send secret messages to each other. Using the Arduino development environment users can build their own functionality for their Jewelbots. Making them as unique as they are! Jewelbots bring Computer Science education to the next level. Learning how to code with Jewelbots feels like playing with friends. Kids can test their skills with step by step coding challenges and get instant gratification. Our Online Community provides a safe environment in case kids get stuck. They can get help, share what they have done, and find inspiring code to try for themselves while engaging with their friends. Jewelbots does not share or store location data, so our users are anonymous. For the curious tinkerer, Jewelbots offers the perfect platform to explore what is possible with wearable technology. Using the Arduino IDE, kids can literally make the bracelets do whatever they dream up.
