miranda software

Universal software for STEM robots simulation

Create simulations of existing or purely imaginary robots in a few clicks. Share your creations with your friends. Create challenges for your students. Here are some of the activities offered by miranda.

Why simulating STEM robots? The interest of simulation is not to replace real STEM robots but rather to enrich activities with the possibility of simulating more robots and also to create challenges. This last point is very important because it allows students to train alone, to face the succession of failures and successes by programming robots with Scratch or Python. Motivation is a key point in learning, knowing how to program an STEM robot is good, being able to carry out a specific mission while respecting a set point is even better. Whether with the robots or predefined drones offered in miranda (Vbot, Thymio, Ozobot, Lego, Dash, Edison, etc.) or purely virtual robots, students can experiment at will. Simulation is not the enemy of the real, it allows you to enrich activities on real equipment and also to work when real resources are not accessible. The behaviors tested in Scratch or Python can be exploited on real STEM robots. Creating your own simulations is also learning to create educational content for others with the desire to advance them and to distract them intelligently. Creating your own simulated STEM robots also means experimenting with mechanical solutions and using them in simulations to analyze their behavior.
