STEAM
An Orchestra of STEAM Learning
Xploris brings Science, Maths, Coding, Control & Engineering and Creative Digital Art into one handheld classroom device. Pupils can collect real sensor data, analyse it on-screen, and then use code to make something happen — from changing an animation to controlling external outputs.
Science & Maths
Real Data Logging Pupils Can Understand
Xploris includes five built-in sensors (temperature, light, sound, distance and voltage), ready to use with no calibration fuss. Pupils can log data, visualise results and discuss what the evidence shows — ideal for practical science enquiry and maths links.
- Capture and store sensor samples for later analysis
- View results as numbers, tables and graphs
- Use markers/annotations to support explanations
Coding
Blockly First… then Python
XploriLab introduces coding through a Blockly/Scratch style editor (perfect for younger pupils), with a Python editor available for progression. This makes it easy to run the same lesson idea at different depths across KS1/KS2 or mixed-ability groups.
- Variables, logic, loops and if/else conditions
- Inputs from sensors, outputs to screen and ports
- Blocks-to-Python progression for confident learners
Control & Engineering
When Data Makes Things Happen
This is where Xploris becomes more than a data logger. Pupils can program outputs based on sensor readings — for example, switching a control, driving a servo, or responding when light/temperature changes.
- Control outputs and voltage outputs for simple projects
- Servo outputs for basic robotics mechanisms
- Great for DT/engineering enrichment and clubs
Creative Digital Art
Pixel Art, Animation & Music
Pupils can create pixel art images and frame-by-frame animations, then connect creativity back to science and coding by triggering art/animation changes from sensor data.
- Pixel art drawing tools and animation features
- Optional soundtracks and simple music composing
- Brilliant cross-curricular hooks for reluctant coders
