FlowStone has many uses for education. Due to its graphical nature FlowStone can help students to understand both simple and complex mathematical functions in a way that is fun and engaging.

For educational purposes FlowStone provide a free of charge version for students and teachers to create their own small robotics and DSP applications. This means that students can not only work in the classroom but take their projects home and work on their home computers or laptops using exactly the same software.

We also offer significant academic discounts for teachers and students who want to use the Enterprise or Professional Editions.

Boolean Algebra

Displaying the Boolean Algebra functions in graphical form with switches and bulbs makes explaining such concepts extremely easy.

Students can explore interactively - much more fun than pen and paper!

Audio Functions

Seeing the shape of an audio waveform and being able to hear it in real-time, helps teach about frequency and Trigonometric functions.

The example below shows a slider controlling the frequency of a waveform generator which is then displayed on a scope and sent out as sound to the soundcard

Robotics

Explore the world of robotics by interfacing to popular low-cost robot arms.

See how Inverse Kinematics (IK) & Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) systems are used in such applications.

Lego

Then there is Lego an ideal material for constructing a whole range of models and contraptions. Using low cost components and the simple FlowStone user interface you can bring these models to life. This provides a low cost, flexible alternative to the expensive Lego Mindstorms NXT brick.

FlowStone Toolbox

Video

FlowStone FREE has video functions built in. Connect webcams, record video to disk, perform complex tasks like motion, colour and face detection with ease.

These are just a few of the things FlowStone is capable of. There are many other ways the software can be used in education. Whether you're a secondary school or a college or university, FlowStone has a wealth of applications that can benefit you in your teaching.

Here at DSP Robotics we are genuinely committed to supporting education so why not take the FREE version for a spin and see how it can help!
