Explore The Building Blocks of Technology

Piper Make blends buildable hardware with easy-to-understand coding lessons to create an easy introduction to physical computing! Whether coding an LED traffic light, building a fully functioning stopwatch, or building a piano made out of resistors, the Piper Make Base Station is a launching point to empower students to explore, build, and innovate.

Built around the Piper Make Base Station, learners explore sensors, movement, lights, solar energy, environmental sensing, and engineering challenges through interactive missions and creative problem solving. Designed as a connected ecosystem of STEM experiences, Piper Make gives learners the tools to build, code, and experiment through hands-on projects.

The Piper Make Base Station Kit provides an affordable self-build solution for all computing, engineering and wider STEM classrooms. Its Raspberry Pi microcontroller, as well as LED lights, switches, buttons, and much more, allow you to explore more than 14 self-guided Missions and learn about computational thinking, basic circuitry, coding and so much more.

Self guided Mission tutorials on Piper’s award winning block-based drag-and-drop platform take Piperbot and Pip, the loveable adventurers at the centre of the storyline, guide and engage students to create technology and learn key STE(A)M skills!

The interface shows the Raspberry Pi Pico board, a wiring diagram for LED wiring, and menu options on the left for programming blocks.

Take your Piper Make curriculum even further with 9 more selfbuild projects; all with pre-built missions! Piper Make’s widgets allow you explore building and coding a robot to walk, learning the science behind a real solar powered house, sensing the speed of a car on a ramp, discovering the impact of movement on a gyroscopic ball, or learning how to measure you heart rate or the moisture content in soil.
