Junior Control Insight

  Junior Control Insight offers a unique solution to teaching control & modelling in an easily managed format for the classroom. You need very little equipment. Instead, a large number of animated screen-based simulations are used to make control fun and relevant. These include: Dream Bedroom, Fun Fair, Haunted House, Inventors’ Workshop, and many others.

Building a system on-screen in Junior Control Insight allows pupils to test their work before connecting to hardware, easing classroom management and allowing pupils to learn quickly from mistakes.

A simple control language puts the instructions into everyday English helping pupils to think clearly and logically.

The software includes a wide range of example projects and ‘Fixits’. ‘Fixits’ are single control exercises in which the learner has to ‘fix’ a partially working system. These are ideal to get users up and running quickly, whatever their initial skill level.

Pupils can view their control system in three different ways, supporting the design-test-build method of control. The Scene Window shows an animated picture of the model; the System Window shows the active components and how they are related; and the Connections Window shows how to connect the interface
