An electronics kit with character Chip is cute and playful. Whether he is on your desk in his Pixel Power board or in an Arduino, his big LED eyes draw you in. His large size makes him easy for makers of all ages and skills to build.

• Chip is easy to build for all skill levels, especially beginners.
• Chip encourages exploration and play.
• Chip can be used to learn other skills, such as programming.
• Chip is fun.
• Chip is educational and builds S.T.E.A.M. Skills.

Chip Builds S.T.E.M / S.T.E.A.M Skills

STEAM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math education. STEAM is about developing innovators and critical thinkers. It is about real world learning.

In the real world, content knowledge is interwoven and layered, not isolated. STEAM curriculum focuses on collaboration, cooperation, and communication through project-based cross subject learning. In the real world, for example, baking a cake requires one to use math, science, and art to accomplish the task.

Chip, is designed with these STEAM foundations in mind. Chip builds on skills sets and grows from an instructional electronics kit, to a soldering skill builder, to a tool to teach and learn programming with.

Pixel Power

Each Chip comes with it's own Pixel Power. It is Chip's stand and battery power. Like Chip, the Pixel Power is a cross-medium, multifunctional board and skill builder.

The Pixel Power starts as a kit, but when assembled it can be used for other projects. For example, it can be used with conductive thread as a sewable battery and switch for e-craft and e-textile projects.
