Educators

STEM Educators can turn abstract coding concepts into tangible, interactive experiences. Students write code and instantly see it come alive—blinking LEDs, moving motors, sensing the environment. No soldering, no setup delays—just plug, code, and create.

There are thousands of ways DUELink can be used with the standard DUELink engine or with MicroBlocks. However, we have hand selected a few DUELink boards for Educators or anyone who is just starting out with coding circuits.

DUELink engine

tip

These educator-focused boards ship preloaded with MicroBlocks. Users can always load, and reload, any DUELink module with any of the available software options.

Third-Party Options

DUELink modules work in so many ways, allowing you to continue using your existing hardware and software.

Perhaps you want to use micro:bit with Microsoft MakeCode.

Or use Raspberry Pi with Python.

Or use Arduino with its software or with MicroPython.

You can even utilize DUELink modules using PCs and Laptops with JavaScript, Python, .NET, and beyond!

The ever-growing Product Catalog has an impressive list of options!
