Blocks to Bots with KuttyPy Plus
| Links: Website
The kuttpy development board can be used with linux/windows/android, It is an alternative to Arduino for bare metal work. Allows live manipulation of registers of the microcontroller to study how it works. The Blocks to Bots program uses it
Blocks to Bots programme
The Blocks to Bots curriculum was prepared using the KuttyPy device. . Students learnt a variety of core concepts.

Success story
We trained more than 2000 students , and conducted over 40 workshops
Some workshops were also conducted at schools
But most workshops were conducted at the incubation centre
Day 2 : Sensors (pressure, humidity, gyro etc ), ADCs, Ohm's law to use an LDR as an input for a mini game, Intro to coding in C, Binary operations, and several physics experiments . #kuttypy pic.twitter.com/o8a7nSzVIi— Jithin B.P., Ph.D. (@jithinbp_) May 3, 2024
Verifying that the accelerometer reading from the phone drops from 9.8 to zero during free fall. #kuttypy workshop. pic.twitter.com/LymkiuMWql— Jithin B.P., Ph.D. (@jithinbp_) April 29, 2024
Wrapped up a workshop on Microcontrollers, Binary and Registers, sensors, and some robots 🤖
Eighth graders with no prior exposure to coding were surprisingly quick to learn Binary, loops, variables, and make stuff like cascading LEDs 🤩#kuttypy https://t.co/bxu5Fkhw5z pic.twitter.com/GtQMzI2Y0P— Jithin B.P., Ph.D. (@jithinbp_) April 3, 2024
Docs for the introduction to hardware programming workshops for kids at Science Hack Day, Indiahttps://t.co/Dtg1By1Lbf
cover basics of registers with blinky and sensor demos, and some fun AI based interactive activities 🧪@SHD_India @eevblog @IndSciFest #shdindia2023 pic.twitter.com/JiDHaONljb— Jithin B.P., Ph.D. (@jithinbp_) October 25, 2023
More training sessions
- monitoring temperatures in various parts of the building
- walk up 4 floors and record air pressure to calculate the height of each floor (8 metres/mBar)
- verify S = 0.5*g*t^2 pic.twitter.com/f0oNsoeCa9— Jithin B.P., Ph.D. (@jithinbp_) May 15, 2024
