New EdTech Resource | SeeBox: Unlock Your Child's Future in Science & Engineering

Engineering is on the list of most in demand careers in most countries, and yet most schools are not equipped to teach electronics to their students. The Scientific Engineering Education Box, or SeeBox, seeks to address the worldwide shortage of engineers by introducing young learners to the principles of electricity and electronics.  


Seebox is a unique interactive game console that comes packed with video tutorials that teaches learners about electronics, through gameplay & practical electronic experiments.

SeeBox consists of 6 measurement instruments and displays the measurement feedback to the child while playing. The child is engaged by watching short animated videos, then does experiments, and learns by fun game play. It keeps track of every learner's progress and abilities while they work on it, which is fed into a Learner Management System. 

The learner has to navigate their way through an obstacle course with many experiments on physical electronic circuits in the form of experiment boards, called a “Playboards”. The SeeBox measures what the learner is doing on the circuit, and as soon as they achieve the objective of the experiment, they can enter the next experiment-door. Feedback is immediate, and the progressive nature of the game fosters a sense of accomplishment and thus confidence in their abilities.


SeeBox doesn't require an electronics teacher, can be used at home, and it supports groups of learners working together. 

The game develops problem solving and abstract thinking, which is beneficial for all children, not just those who want to pursue a career in engineering. This could help unlock a future in ICT for many young learners. 

SeeBox is offering the chance to get a SeeBox for your school by co-sponsoring just $35 on Indiegogo: http://igg.me/at/seebox 

When 10 parents have sponsored, the school will get a SeeBox, 10 playboards and 5 Learner ID tags. More info: http://www.seebox.co.za/indiegogo-crowdfunding-campaign and

Very good and inspiring article, I strongly believe children should be dragged to learn engineering this way. Because their minds would be filled with innovative thoughts and logical understanding keeps improving in them from the very start.
