Xploris, the latest innovation from Globisens, is an all-in-one STEAM solution that integrates science data logging, mathematics, coding, control, and art. Paired with XploriLab software, it offers a uniquely comprehensive STEAM learning platform. Features Data Logging Built on the proven GlobiLab software, Xploris offers data logging and analysis alongside five built-in sensors: temperature, light, sound, motion, and voltage. Additionally, it features two engine controls, two on/off controls, and two voltage outputs, enabling responses to real-time sensor data. This empowers students to take the next step in hands-on learning by directing machine outputs based on sensor readings—for example, adjusting greenhouse humidity or temperature in response to live data. The New Literacy: Coding By integrating scientific investigation with code generation, XploriLab enables students to understand and influence the technology that shapes their world. Built on the open-source BLOCKLY/SCRATCH coding platforms, XploriLab features a coding editor that allows young learners to apply visual programming principles through an intuitive graphical interface. This includes key programming concepts such as data types, variables, logical operators, if-else conditions, loops, and input/output operations. Beyond its block-based interface, XploriLab also supports high-level Python programming, catering to more advanced learners. In today’s digital era, students are excited to take control of real hardware—writing their own code, transmitting it via Bluetooth or USB, and seeing their programming come to life in real-world applications. Pixel Art A modern take on a classic art form, digital pixel art has seen a major resurgence in recent years. XploriLab provides students with a creative platform to explore this engaging medium, offering a selection of canvas colours and a 16 x 16 LED grid for designing and displaying both still images and animations. Xploris delivers a fully integrated STEAM experience, allowing students to go beyond simple pixel art creation. For example, they can animate a blooming flower and extend their learning by applying coding principles—programming the flower’s petals to open dynamically when light is detected by a sensor. STEM Learning Xploris enables students to transition effortlessly between science, technology, engineering, and art disciplines. By eliminating the need for schools to invest in and maintain multiple, disconnected STEAM devices, Globisens provides a fully integrated, compact, and handheld solution—bringing the harmony of STEAM learning into a single, versatile platform.
