Decision record

What was considered,
chosen and verified.

Scope: public information and facts involving Matrain.
1Implementation consideration

Use one material for an accessible entry and a more advanced program.

The same physical train needed to support immediate color-snap control and a Scratch-based activity.

2Chosen approach

The academy designed separate color-snap and Scratch programs.

Matrain provided product explanations, reference material and learning information while the educator structured the lessons.

3Verified in practice

Selected for two special summer programs in 2026.

Both programs are listed in the academy's public summer-program information.

Color snaps

Arrange color, observe the result and revise.

The train reads colored pieces on the track and turns them into movement. The result appears immediately in the physical vehicle.

Scratch use example

Check a program through the movement of the train.

Changing blocks changes travel and lights, making the relationship between code and a physical result visible.

What this case shows

The educator designs the lesson; the product supports it.

The academy created its own program and selected Smart Train as the teaching material. This case does not imply an ongoing curriculum-development or support commitment from Matrain.
