Curriculum
Robotics Programming
Program these robots to complete challenges using the accompanied apps, that range from drawing codes to activating complex sensors.
The cue app takes robotics to the next level. Engage in witty chat with cue, control cue’s movements, create reactive sensor behaviors, or code creative interactions using block or JavaScript programming at the skill level that’s right for you.
Ozobot gets kids coding and loving robots with the stroke of a marker. Customize, code with colors, and advance to OzoBlockly, a block-based coding language that teaches kid coders the fundamentals of coding through learning sequences, algorithms, loops, events, conditionals, functions, and variables.
A robot that does incredible things.
It Draws, Erases, Scans, Detects, Bumps, Sees, Hears, Feels, Moves, Glows, Climbs, and Plays.
Content that inspires.
The Root® Coding App is packed with lessons, projects and activities to begin your hands-on problem solving with Root right out of the box.

Coding Platforms
CodeSpark Academy teaches kids how to code with mini games and makes learning computer programming fun and engaging. It is a fun & creative way to introduce coding concepts and develop problem solving skills
“Solve puzzles to master the basics using Swift — a powerful programming language created by Apple and used by the pros to build today’s most popular apps. Then take on a series of challenges and step up to more advanced playgrounds designed by Apple and other leading developers.”
Code.org offers tutorials for pre-readers to middle schoolers, using block and text-based coding languages. Code at your own pace using video tutorials and direct website support.
Learn to code through creative play! Explore the basics of computer science all while making art and games that you actually want to play. Create games like “Geometry Dash” and “Subway Surfers,” even “Minecraft Remakes!” The possibilities are endless!
Osmo is a device that is “crafted with reflective artificial intelligence” that allows students to connect with code in their physical environment. Each coding game provides physical coding blocks so that players can interact directly with their code. Learn logic and problem solving skills, while discovering algorithms, loops, and variables!
Use the Tynker platform to code robots, build apps, explore STEM, mod Minecraft, code drones, and build games. Tynker does it all!
