Transform the way your students collect data and explore scientific principles with Go Wireless. By using this intuitive app with one of the Go Wireless sensors, students can easily analyze temperature or pH data in an engaging, hands-on way. HARDWARE REQUIRED—Visit vernier.com/gw-temp for details or to purchase. The app allows students to view live readings from the wireless sensor, capture data in real time, and examine the results. With Go Wireless, investigation possibilities are limitless. General Features • Instantly discover nearby Go Wireless sensors and monitor their readings • Connect to a specific sensor for further study • Customize sensor name, view battery status, and flash sensor LED to identify • Collect data when app is in the background or mobile device is in sleep • Export sensor data for further analysis in other apps Go Wireless Temp • View live temperature values in a thermometer bar • Collect data – displayed in a graph • Tap to toggle units • °C and °F • Tap the graph to Examine the data Go Wireless pH/Go Wireless Electrode Amplifier • Quickly collect individual data points in a table • Set sensor to report readings in pH or mV • Visual cues to quickly identify solution as acidic, basic, or neutral • Easy sensor calibration—add a calibration point with a single touch • Record a description for each sample or enter a titration volume • Enter observations for any recorded reading Opportunities for Investigation With Go Wireless Temp, students can explore: • Endothermic and exothermic reactions • Freezing and melting of water • Energy content of foods With Go Wireless pH, students can investigate: • pH of household acids and bases • Acid-base titrations • Water quality For advanced data analysis and graphing capabilities and for compatibility with Go Wireless Hear Rate, download Graphical Analysis. This app allows students to save data, perform curve fits, annotate graphs, perform statistical calculations, and export data for further analysis.

From elementary school through college, VEXcode is a coding environment that meets students at their level. The intuitive layout of VEXcode allows students to get started quickly and easily. VEXcode is consistent across Blocks and Text, across VEX IQ and VEX V5. As students progress from elementary, middle, and high school, they never have to learn a different blocks, code, or toolbar interface. As a result, students can focus on creating with technology, not trying to navigate a new layout. Drive Forward is the new Hello World We all know that robots attract kids to learn. VEX Robotics and VEXcode are providing opportunities for students of all ages to participate in learning the code that makes these robots work. VEX makes computer science come to life through collaborations, hands-on projects, and engaging experiences. From classrooms to competitions, VEXcode helps to create the next generation of innovators. Drag. Drop. Drive. VEXcode Blocks is the perfect platform for those new to coding. Students use the simple drag and drop interface to create functioning programs. Each block's purpose can easily be identified using the visual cues like its shape, color, and label. We've designed VEXcode Blocks to allow those who are new to robotics to get their robot up and running faster. Now, students can focus on being creative and learning computer science concepts, not stuck trying to figure out the interface. More accessible than ever VEXcode even helps across language barriers, allowing student to read blocks and comment programs in their native language. Drag & Drop. Powered by Scratch Blocks. Students and Teachers will feel instantly at home with this familiar environment. Video Tutorials. Grasp concepts faster. Built-in tutorials cover every aspect needed to get up to speed fast. And more tutorials are coming. Help is always there. Getting information on blocks is fast and easy. These resources were written by educators, in a form both teachers and students will grasp quickly. Drivetrain Blocks. A breakthrough in simplicity. From driving forward, making precise turns, setting speed, and stopping precisely, VEXcode makes it easier than ever to control a robot. Setup your VEX robot. Fast. VEXcode's device manager is simple, flexible, and powerful. In no time at all you can setup your robot's drivetrain, controller features, motors, and sensors. 40+ Example projects to choose from. Jumpstart your learning by starting with an existing project, covering every aspect of coding, controlling robots, and learning to use sensors.
