Features Include:.

  • Young children love drawing, painting and making models out of a wide variety of materials.

From simple working models they can easily progress to computer control by connecting a model to the computer.
  • Junior Control Insight is the ideal medium for helping children learn how to analyse control problems and design successful solutions.
  • Unique 'Insight modules' make it easy to understand how to process information and make decisions in control systems. Instructions, commands and decisions are all expressed in logically structured control sentences using IPSL.
  • The program is approached using pictures to envisage the scenario and necessary components. The control requirements are analysed into simple, single-function, stages. The control logic is defined in modules which display their function is IPSL sentences that explain each part of the solution.
  • The solution is tested as a simulation on screen with out the need for peripheral hardware.
  • The system can be built as a physical model, connected to the computer via a control interface and controlled by Control Insight.
  • The Insight Problem Solving Language describes technical control functions in a pupil-friendly format and is designed to help children analyse control problems into individually executable control functions. IPSL sentences support the principles of the literacy initiative in primary schools.
