The Core Brain is a versatile, powerful and feature rich computer microcontroller designed to deliver an epic journey of discovery and learning.
Your epic journey of discovery
On its own, the core brain is arguably one of the most interesting and feature rich microcontrollers currently available, but where the brain is unrivalled is in its role as the computing power behind our rare, epic and legendary projects. Powered by this versatile brain, Brainbox projects allow anyone to explore cutting edge computer, electronics and robotic science with a simple, easy to learn, enjoyable experience.
Easy to dive in!
Unlike its competitors, each Core Brain has several fun projects preloaded allowing you to immediately explore the internet of things and mobile app connectivity though example games and creative concepts leading to easy and meaningful learning of cutting edge ideas from day one.
Powerful yet accessible
The core brain is based on a powerful eps32 processor and has both bluetooth and Internet of Things wireless functionality. It has full compatibility with a broad range of super easy to understand visual programming languages including Scratch and Blockly, but also supports powerful languages like Python. Its design is compatible with the highly popular Arduino and its programming environment. This compatibility gives the core brain access to well developed standard libraries, learning resources and a thriving community to explore countless projects around the globe.
