"... children learn the fundamentals of the control language
via Roamer's LOGO-like commands, then progress to using Control Console
and more ambitious projects; all without having to tie up a computer system." Chris Drage, Journalist and Primary School Teacher, London.
"It's not just the fact you don't need a computer, but
the console can be taken to models the children have built. This helps
classroom management enormously." Phil Mann, IT Primary Advisor, Berkshire.
SENSCI
The new system that combines innovative design based
on sound practical use with a price that defies belief. If you need more
inputs or outputs simply link two together.
"SenSci is exceptional value." John Eastwood, Technology Advisor, Birmingham.
"This is excellent. Buy it." Norman Davies, IT coordinator, London.
"The right product at the right price and exactly right
for Keystages 2 and 3." Geoff Howard, Technology Advisor, North Yorkshire.
"We have been asked to develop an adaptor for SenSci that
will allow less able pupils to use the system and provide a means to use
existing connectors. We are doing this at the moment. If you are interested
please phone for details." Dave Catlin, Managing Director.
