The coding platform that students' program with TI graphing calculators to explore math, science and STEM principles.
The TI- Innovator Hub is the centerpiece of the TI-Innovator Technology, a project kit that extends the functionality of Texas Instruments (TI) graphing calculators to make coding and engineering design accessible to students in the classroom.
TI - Innovator Hub
Plug-and-Play and ready-to-use with TI graphing calculators, the TI Innovator Hub enables students to learn basic coding and design, use those skills to program and build working solutions and connect STEM concepts.
Extended Functionality
The TI-Innovator Hub supports the TI-84 plus CE graphing calculator and the TI- Nspire CX handheld and software.
Features :-
Hands-on-experience
TI Launchpad Technology – used by engineers in the field – is built in, giving students early exposure to professional applications.
Plug-and-play Ready
The TI-Innovator Hub is ready out-of-the-box to connect with TI-84 Plus CE and TI Nspire CX graphing technology.
Challenge students to solve open-ended problems by building projects with the TI-Innovator breadboard pack or TI-Innovator Rover programmable robotic vehicle.
Unlimited Opportunities
Multiple input and output ports expand the TI-Innovator Hub capability to motivate students to imagine, design, build and test creative solutions.
Interact with real world
Students can write code to program working solutions that actuate a red-green-blue LED, single red LED, light brightness sensor and speaker built into the TI-Innovator Hub.
Built for classroom
The TI- Innovator Hub in enclosed in a durable case that is ready for your classroom.
