Solutions...
Since 1964!

Students need modern tools and


technology to succeed in STEM.
At PASCO, we have been creating
and manufacturing award-winning,
hands-on science education tools
and datalogging solutions since
1964. With our unique blend of
dedication and experience, we
think no one combines innovative,
easy-to-use products with world-
class support like we do.

SPARKvue with Blockly


SPARKvue makes data collection, analysis, and sharing quick and easy on every platform. Compatible with all of PASCO’s
wireless and PASPORT sensors, students can quickly set up their lab, or use a built-in Quick Start Lab and begin collecting
data immediately. SPARKvue is for all sciences and grade levels. However, if you’re an advanced user looking for more
capabilities such as video analysis, advanced statistics and calculations, and greater customization of data displays on
a PC or Mac®, then investigate PASCO Capstone™ software.

Since SPARKvue was first released, it has been winning awards, and we never stop improving it. With the latest major
release of SPARKvue 4, we’ve continued to add features without adding complexity. A new Welcome Screen makes it
easy to get started and discover SPARKvue’s capabilities. Whether you want to add data manually, use sensors for
real-time or remote logging, or open one of the hundreds of existing labs, this is your starting place.

Confidently Integrate Computational
Thinking into Any Lesson with Blockly
Color coding blocks give students a
visual method for developing strong
coding foundations.
Students can create code that collects
sensor measurements, reports data, or
controls output devices.
As they execute their code, students
can visualize their data using real-time
graphical displays that assist with
data visualization.

Real-World Coding Activities: Computational


Thinking Meets Data Literacy

While developing their code,


students can press the Record
button at any time to execute it
and receive live feedback.
Students can instantly monitor
sensor measurements through
live graphs and digits displays that
support debugging throughout their
code creation process.
Once students have successfully
coded their sensor parameters,
they can collect data in real time,
store it, and use it to inform future
experiments.

//code.Node Learning to code. Coding to learn.

Bring computational thinking


into your STEM classroom.
With the //code.Node and SPARKvue software
with Blockly, PASCO brings coding into the science
classroom, making it accessible for teachers and
students with no programming experience!

Control output devices on the //code.Node using input device measurements and Blockly code in SPARKvue.
The 5x5 LED Array can be programmed to illuminate each light at various levels of brightness. As students illuminate multiple LEDs, the display can read out
letters and numbers, or be animated like a computer screen. In the image above, the array displays its classic smiley.

Code with Confidence with
the //code.Node and Blockly.
PASCO’s new //code.Node
lets you teach coding and
conquer standards, without any
programming experience. By
integrating Blockly into SPARKvue
and Capstone, PASCO has
brought the fun of coding activities
into our user-friendly software,
creating a streamlined solution
where students can code, debug,
and collect and analyze data, all in
one space. Best of all, our support
materials include everything you
need to incorporate coding into
your curriculum.
