databot™ is an innovative and versatile tool for STEM education. It is a small cube designed to help students collect, see, and work with data so they can develop a better understanding of all the data that surrounds them. Students can hold databot in the palm of their hands and begin a journey of scientific exploration and fun. The device offers a variety of sensors including an accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, air pressure, altitude, humidity, ultraviolet (UV), light (Lux), CO2, and VOCs. Plus, you can connect wirelessly and set-up is easy. You can be up and running in minutes. Plus, classroom packages are available that are a fraction of the cost of other probeware systems.

Using databot™ you can easily see the changes that take place in the experiment as you record and display data over time.

Teaching with databot

databot is ideal for teaching multiple disciplines because it includes everything you need to start exploring the hidden world of data. Your students can use it to capture and visualize data for learning activities. Using real data brings new life to science, math, and technology lessons. Here are some examples of subjects that you can teach with this versatile STEM education tool:

• Art, Coding & Engineering – Teaching coding opens up the possibilities with databot’s technology. Students can use their imaginations to create light and sound shows that respond to changes in the environment.
• Biology – Imagine the possibilities. You can do experiments where you track the effects of CO2, humidity, and light on your plants. Conduct an experiment to see if UV light affects photosynthesis and more.
• Chemistry – Study the density of gases, endothermic and exothermic reactions.
• Earth Science – Collect data and study environmental data like air quality, humidity, temperature, and UV.
• Physics – Capture and display physical science data from databot’s accelerometer, gyro, and magnetometer.
• Math – Math becomes more exciting when you can turn the data around into numbers you can capture, view, and analyze.
