🖥️ 🧸 a new (old) approach for 21st-century kids using computers… chronological order

as our kiddo gets older we are going on a journey with her, focusing on the evolution of computing from where it started, and using each one, in order.

our adventure begins with retrofitting a 1998 littletikes/ibm playset to house the early computers, providing her with a tangible way to interact with these machines. might need to do emulators for some of these, but trying to see if we can get many of these, build/re-build, or borrow -

some of the plans will be to explore the hardware - on how it all worked before computing moved to sealed black rectangles that's mostly used to buy things or pay subscriptions services.

here's the "playlist" so far - have any suggestions?

altair 8800 (1975) apple i (1976) commodore pet (1977) apple ii (1977) atari 400/800 (1979)

commodore vic-20 (1980) ibm pc (1981) commodore 64 (1982) apple macintosh (1984) amiga 500 (1987)

next computer (1990) sun sparcstation 10 (1992) compaq presario 425 (1993) sony vaio pcv (1996) apple imac g3 (1998) dell dimension xps t500 (1999)

this approach also seems like it could be a kid's book - a book for parents to follow along with their kids on the history of computers with how-tos on building, or emulating them. maybe even a "build-a-bear" - style workshops / classes for kids and parents, but for making their first computers together…

more later!

Their family is urgently raising funds for their extraordinarily high day-to-day costs, evacuation registration fees for 4 more family members (of 7), and for emergency medical costs when they are able to evacuate! The family has been forcibly displaced multiple times by the occupation after their home was bombed, and they are currently living in dire conditions in their tent in central Gaza.

Is Python A Good Programming Language For Kids To Learn? And Why?

Python is an excellent programming language for kids to learn. Its simple and readable syntax makes it easy for beginners, especially young learners, to grasp the fundamentals of coding without getting overwhelmed by complex language structures. Python uses everyday language, allowing kids to focus on problem-solving and logical thinking, rather than being bogged down by complicated syntax. Python is also highly versatile and widely used in areas like web development, data science, artificial intelligence, and robotics, making it a future-proof language. Kids who learn Python early can apply it across various fields as they advance in their education. Additionally, Python has a large, supportive community, providing numerous resources like tutorials, forums, and libraries designed for beginners. By learning Python, kids not only build strong programming foundations but also gain exposure to concepts that will prepare them for more complex languages and technologies in the future. This makes Python an ideal entry point for young coders.

Why should schools invest in STEM labs?

Schools across the country are beginning to understand that the future of learning is not simply limited to textbooks and memorization. What students really need is a place where they can experiment. Where they can learn the real-world applications of science, technology, engineering, and maths. That's the need of a STEM lab.

So, what is a STEM lab?

Simply put, it’s a space designed to allow students to think, build, and create

It's a playground for innovation. Students explore concepts like robotics, engineering, electronics, and more. Using STEM kits for schools, they apply what they have learned and get acknowledged for their efforts. In short, with STEM kits, students don't just cram facts, they figure things out for themselves.

Now Blix offers a range of STEM kits for schools. These kits, specifically a lab, help students learn by building, experimenting, and solving problems directly. Now Let's Get Into The Most Common Concerns of Schools

1. Lack of practical resources

Teachers are often expected to “make do” with whatever resources are available. Setting up a functioning STEM tinkering lab without a proper kit means a lot of improvisation. It makes it difficult for teachers to offer consistent, quality experiences.

Here, Blix provides a straightforward solution. We offer ready-to-use kits that don’t require a massive overhaul or extra investment. Schools can start building their STEM labs with minimal setup. And this setup actually turns a classroom into an interactive lab, practically overnight!

2. Curriculum demands

We understand teachers are under constant pressure to cover extensive curriculums. This leaves just a little room to add new, engaging material.

Blix recognizes this struggle. That's why we offer a built-in, flexible STEM curriculum. The motive here is to not overwhelm teachers. Instead of leaving teachers to figure out how to integrate robotics or coding into a packed syllabus.

The most amazing part - Blix’s program aligns with school standards. Hence even educators can introduce STEM without an added burden. There is a structured curriculum they have to follow. And the curriculum itself ensures that students progress gradually without making extra demands on teachers’ time.

3. Tangibility concerns

STEM topics can feel abstract and daunting to students. Mechanics, coding, engineering principles, and oh so many. Without the right tools making it all relatable is somehow difficult.

Blix kits tackle this head-on. With the STEM Robotics Kits available here, students can physically build and manipulate models. This hands-on experience is invaluable. Students aren’t just learning in theory. They’re wiring, coding, and seeing their creations come to life. This kind of practical learning brings concepts out of textbooks and into real-world relevance.
