SAM Blocks are small, battery-powered modules that perform specific input (sensors) or output (actuators) functions. Key blocks include:
| Feature | SAM Labs | LEGO Spike | micro:bit + add-ons | |--------|----------|------------|---------------------| | Setup time | Minutes (auto-pairing) | ~15 min | Variable (needs wiring) | | Coding approach | Flow-based → text | Scratch/Word blocks | MicroPython, MakeCode | | Reusability | High (all blocks generic) | Medium (theme-specific) | Very high (open ecosystem) | | Best for | Classroom management & cross-curricular | Robotics competitions | Hobbyist/exploratory | samlabs
: These tactile, rechargeable modules include various sensors (light, pressure, tilt) and actuators (LEDs, motors, buzzers). SAM Blocks are small, battery-powered modules that perform
