The UKIT Explore Class Pack is comprised of eight uKit Explore sets that will serve up to 32 students (four students per uKit). In addition to the STEM curriculum provided, educators will also have access to open-ended challenges, an Arduino-centered circuitry unit, K–12 AI Foundations curriculum, and an online training portal.
The UKIT Explore Class Pack is ideal for large groups of students (2–4 per kit)
Each comprehensive building kit includes over 1,000 pieces, 16 servos, an Arduino-compatible microcontroller, and circuitry components for limitless opportunities
UKIT's NGSS-aligned curriculum is designed to prepare students for college and careers with complex, real-world design and coding challenges
The Working with Circuits curriculum provides an introduction to circuitry fundamentals and electrical engineering
Students can build and program with block-based code using UBTECH Education’s proprietary uCode software or text-based code in C/C++ through the Arduino IDE
There are up to 38 pre-designed models available in the software, allowing students to explore the engineering design process or invent their own projects
About uCode for the UKIT Explore
uCode is a web programming environment that takes machine learning to the next level. Students of all levels can program using block-based code and dual text-based programming. With uCode, students not only program their UKIT robots but also go above and beyond by creating digital games and animations, driving 3D simulations, and utilizing real-time AI programming.
The 3D, 360-degree modeling system guides students through each build—38 in all for the UKIT Explore
The AI-integrated blocks and machine-model training environment enables students to incorporate AI functionality in their projects
Virtual stage mode allows students to create games, animations, and virtual programs that also connect with UKIT hardware
Upload mode supports dual programming with block-based and text-based (C/C++) programming options – it connects with the Arduino IDE
A 3D simulation lab with virtual drive programming environments enables students to program virtual robots without external hardware
In order to connect the UKIT Explore board within the uCode software, users must install and open the uCode Connection Assistant (PC or Mac) within uCode as prompted when trying to connect
The uCode web platform is optimized for Google Chrome and runs best on the Chrome browser
