In today’s classrooms, hands-on learning is essential. Students learn best when they can see, measure, test, and experience concepts directly. That’s where probeware comes in. By giving learners the tools to collect real data from the world around them, probeware transforms abstract ideas into concrete, meaningful experiences.
With Robotical’s newest product, Axiom, teachers now have an exciting way to bring data-driven exploration into their lessons.
Adding sensors to classroom or lab investigations saves so much time and prevents boredom. No more staring at a thermometer, writing numbers in a notebook, typing them up in Excel, figuring out how to graph them, or plotting them by hand. With probeware, you can go straight from experiment to analysis and focus on the effect you’re observing, rather than spending valuable lesson time on the process of observation.
Axiom is Robotical’s new compact, classroom-ready probeware system designed for modern STEM learning. It gives students the power to connect high-quality sensors directly to the Robotical app, instantly turning observations into actionable data they can explore, compare, and analyse.
But Axiom doesn’t stop at data collection, it turns that data into action.
Experiments can go beyond “measure and graph” and into “measure, respond, and automate.” Students can design systems that react to their data, such as triggering a light when temperature hits a threshold or running a water pump when soil moisture gets too low.
Axiom has been designed with real classrooms and labs in mind. Set-up is simple and hassle-free. Swapping sensors is straightforward, and students can access their data through the easy-to-use web-based Robotical app, with no configuration or software installation required. Even better, Axiom is compatible with current Vernier sensors, meaning that if you’re already using probeware in your classroom, Axiom slots in effortlessly.
At its heart, Axiom is about removing friction from learning, helping teachers reclaim their time, helping students stay curious and energised, and helping classrooms move seamlessly from observation to explanation. When you don’t have to spend your lessons dealing with the admin and hassle of data collection, you can spend them uncovering the story the data tells.
