The Calliope mini is a microcontroller designed as an educational tool for children from the third grade onwards, typically under adult supervision. The Calliope mini demonstrates that everyone can code – and do so with a lot of fun. The entry point is simple, allowing children, teachers, and parents to get started without prior knowledge. From the first self-programmed blinking light to self-driving robots and wirelessly communicating Calliope mini swarms: with just a few clicks, custom programmes can be created on a connected computer to bring the Calliope mini to life.

Fischertechnik construction kit for Calliope mini: The kit includes Fischertechnik components for building three stationary models. With the help of sensors and actuators, easily understandable models such as hand dryers, traffic lights, and barriers can first be constructed according to the building instructions and then controlled via the Calliope mini. Fischertechnik Calliope can be used in guided and free lessons and provides young students with an easily comprehensible introduction to the world of programming.
