  • Product typeCalculators & Accessories
  • Introduces coding fundamentals to build critical-thinking skills
  • Enables physical computing with TI-Innovator technology
  • Sparks interest in engineering and robotics concepts
  • Suitable for both student and engineer use
  • Calculator microcontroller development platform for STEM education

Calculator Microcontroller Platform

The Texas Instruments Innovator platform combines a calculator form factor with microcontroller capabilities for classroom coding exercises. It targets students learning programming fundamentals and engineers prototyping physical-computing concepts. The system uses TI-Innovator technology to connect code with real-world sensors and actuators.

Handheld Design For Classroom Use

The calculator-style enclosure fits on a student desk and survives daily handling in lab environments. Integrated ports allow direct connection to TI-Innovator Hub modules and supported peripherals without extra cables or adapters. Battery power enables untethered experiments during robotics or engineering activities.

Replaces Separate Calculator

Schools can consolidate introductory coding and hardware labs onto a single platform instead of managing distinct devices. The jump is worthwhile when curriculum covers both mathematical computation and physical computing in the same course sequence. It does not suit advanced embedded development requiring full IDE toolchains or wireless connectivity.

Questions about this item

What type of interface does the STEM/PWB/2L1/B development platform use to connect with a calculator?

The platform connects to a compatible TI graphing calculator through the calculator's built-in I/O port, allowing direct communication for coding and physical computing projects.

What physical components are included with the STEM/PWB/2L1/B for mounting or connecting to a calculator?

The kit includes the TI-Innovator Hub microcontroller board and a connecting cable; it requires a compatible TI graphing calculator (sold separately) to function as the programming interface and power source.

How is the STEM/PWB/2L1/B platform set up for student use, and what step is commonly missed?

Connect the Hub to the calculator using the supplied cable, then launch the Hub menu on the calculator to begin coding; a common missed step is ensuring the calculator OS is updated to a version that supports the Innovator Hub.
