The Lesson in a Box (Visual Computing) is a complete set of electronics and teaching resources to enable successful cross-curricular lessons with minimal teacher effort
No soldering is required for technicians or students
The kit and teaching resources have been tried and tested by real pupils and developed by real teachers to save you time
In developing this box we wanted it to be affordable, useful and robust enough for teachers to use again and again
These subject packs are a basic introduction to cross-curricular visual computing
The resources cover not only the KS3/KS4 (US equivalent - Grades 6-8/9-10) specifications but also personal development by encouraging pupils to view traditional STEM activities as having value across their curriculum

Enrichments - Both enrichments are challenges designed for experimentation, one is a dance and light challenge and the other is a kaleidoscope build challenge. They can also be used for Open Day activities/displays. The activities in The Lesson in a Box Visual Computing pack utilise the BBC microbit, the Kitronik ZIP Halo HD for micro: bit and a clippable motor driver board designed specifically for these types of activities. The advantages of the microbit are that, while being easy to use, it is feature-packed and it can be coded with languages that suit every ability level.
