Children are curious by nature and want to go on adventures and explore the world around them. What could be better to engage their curiosity than to give them fun and easy tools to explore and understand their world in new ways? Wappsto: bit opens up a whole world of new knowledge and experiments using all sorts of imaginable sensors and gadgets. What adventures and what will your child experience when you help it on its way to becoming a little researcher.
What kind of experiments can you do?
It depends on your creativity and the sensors you have available.
-
Do you freeze at night? You can measure the temperature in your room overnight and see if the temperature changes
-
Does your dog snore? You can measure how often loud noises are picked up by the dog basket
