FUZE Special Edition

The FUZE is a highly regarded programming and electronics workstation
designed to make real programming easy and accessible to kids and adults alike.

Its retro design often raises eyebrows and certainly stimulates nostalgic
reminiscing back to the 8 BIT Eighties when the home computer ruled and bedroom coding was all the rage.The FUZE T2 Special Edition pushes that nostalgia trip just that little bit further.

Made from aluminium, the FUZE provides an all-in-one workstation powered by the Raspberry Pi (model B+) and comes with an exclusive version of FUZE BASIC. Ready to run out of the box, step by step project cards provide an ideal introduction to the world of programming and electronics.

Due to its classic BASIC heritage FUZE BASIC remains one of the easiest
languages to learn and teach due to its common sense language and forgiving syntax. Today however FUZE BASIC includes many modern language constructs, advanced graphic and media commands for gaming and a full suite of electronic component commands including direct support for analogue and even a robot arm.

This is the BBC Micro of modern times but with electronic projects and
robots to boot - education has never been this much fun! From £69.99 for case only. www.fuze.co.uk
