Dear Parents,
We are developing Jade for you and your children.
We believe that every child, regardless of age, gender, or skill level, deserves the opportunity to learn to write code and develop practical STEM-related skills. As they find their way in life, having this background will give them more opportunities.
Jade will provide a uniquely fun creative outlet for many years. Your children will be able to pace their learning as challenges are matched to skill level and interests. You can even learn together while your children enjoy healthy screen time.
The experience with Jade is similar to painting or playing on the piano: it will be fun for girls and boys alike. An important benefit to this genderless design is the empowerment of girls in STEM topics.

Built For Your Child.
Jade is not a single-use kit. It is a self-directed learning tool that will
empower your children to solve future challenges.

Dear Newcomers,
Are you interested in learning programming and STEM topics, but do not know where to start?
Shift Sight is here to make STEM fun. We believe that free experimentation is the best way to learn. You should feel free to write a line of code and see what happens. Or, you can wire parts and observe the result. Through patent-pending technology, it is not possible to damage parts by miswiring an electronic circuit or STEM experiment. |
On-screen, interactive feedback keeps you informed and engaged.
Each Carrier Board includes interactive experiments that will teach you practical skills. We believe that learning must be self-paced and matched to your comfort. As you improve, the challenge increases.
Jade is the perfect way to get started. Out-of-the-box, Jade just works. We can't wait to see what you will make!

Newcomers can start anywhere.
Code, electronics, and STEM are all in your grasp. Jade is a tool that will last and is being built for fun!
Dear Educators,
You are our heroes. You are underpaid and overworked. And lately, you are being pressured to create STEM curriculums around off-the-shelf products – all while dealing with broken parts, broken wires, or missing equipment. Jade addresses your needs.
We are developing Jade for your classroom. Your students will learn practical skills through a carefully designed, individualized experience. Balanced hand-eye-mind interaction with instant, on-screen feedback means that your students will lose track of time while learning. |
Jade will make it easy for students to collaborate. Students may even share a Carrier Board: one student may build an experiment on their Jade while another writes the code. They can each see how the other is progressing in addition to receiving real-time feedback on their own work. Through built-in Test and Measurement equipment, your students will have everything they need to complete their creations in one product.
Due to durable components and patent-pending technologies, Jade is designed to survive classroom wear-and-tear year after year. Your students will learn how to investigate their work through Jade's complement of industry-standard test and measurement tools.
Creativity Developed in the Classroom.
Jade uniquely matches challenges to skills.
Your students will develop creative problem solving at their own pace.

Dear Makers,
Jade is the missing centerpiece of your digital maker life. Shift Sight is developing Jade with an ambitious, simple, and unique goal: mastery of Jade will enable you to build your own Jade. (Excluding the mechanical aspects!)
We want you to learn practical skills and have fun at the same time. As you become better, you will find more and more use for Jade in your hobbies. Jade is a tool for creating. Through its front-facing programmable interface, Jade will work with your other STEM and electronic kits. You can give your existing gear a second life through Jade's real-time programming and instant feedback. |
No more struggles with long compile times, unknown code errors, waiting for downloads, or serial protocols that refuse to be debugged. Jade not only detects broken wires and parts, but it can also simulate some electronic parts.
Stop Fretting. Start Building.
Jade's instant feedback allows you to experiment with your creations as you build them.

Dear Professionals,
Jade is being developed by an engineer who understands your frustrations and obstacles.
By moving the firmware development process into real-time, your code development matches the same time domain as electronics and your product-in-development. Interpreted code is compiled on the fly, with Jade's RTOS executing half-interpreted, half-compiled code to keep you moving at the pace you want. Jade provides a meticulous environment for rapid prototyping, durability, traceability, and repeatability of tests. Three on-board microcontrollers facilitate true parallelism and enable you to evaluate your real-time code for determinism in your system. Jade provides real-time SPICE, simulating electronic parts and circuits with a fidelity that is microcontroller-limited. Your simulated circuits interact with both your code and the real-world via Jade's front-mounted, programmable test and measurement port. |
You read that correctly: a software variable can control an input of a simulated circuit, which in turn produces a signal that drives a real circuit. This process goes the other way, too. Get servo and displacement angles just right. Adjust solenoid throw on the spot. Command a suite of programmable Test and Measurement devices. All in real-time.
The workflow with Jade is unique and extremely versatile. For example, it is possible to write a function in code, attach either the input (arguments) / output (return value) or an internal array to a spreadsheet, preview the memory-mapped data graphically, then generate a discrete-time signal of the array through Jade's front port. Jade can produce analog, digital, or signal (DDS) outputs.
Jade ships with BASIC for rapid prototyping and C to enable you to run your existing code out-of-the-box. Support for other languages are planned for the future, but these two are industry mainstays with more than 40 years of traction.
You can always take Jade's mainboard out of its enclosure and deploy it on your prototype. Get Jade. Get creative.
