Because it’s fun. We could stop there… but the truth is, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Learning to code will help your kids develop essential skills like creativity, problem-solving, critical thinking and collaboration. Equipping them with the skills for a world where computer science jobs make up 71% of all new jobs.
Open their eyes to the world of coding with these two fun kits, perfect for ages 6 to 8+. Both kits teach kids easy-to-learn block-coding – the perfect introduction to programming.
Learn about game design and game mechanics with the multiplayer Arcade Coder or customise the world’s first wearable device for kids with the Creative Coder kit!
The Gamer Kit is the perfect way for kids 10+ who love gaming to learn to make and code their own games. The Arduino programming itself is done in one of the most popular programming languages – C++ and Javascript – allowing kids to write and upload custom programs to their Gamer Kit.
Looking for coding toys for an older child or for yourself? That’s A-Okay. The versatility of the Gamer Kit makes it the perfect tool to learn programming in a hands-on way. For any age.
The Micro:bit is a small, pocket-sized computer that can be programmed to light up using a series of tiny LEDs. A non-intimidating introduction to programming and making for older kids – switch on, program it to do something fun – wear it, customize it, develop new ideas!
The Micro:bit can be easily programmed using block-coding. Or – for a more advanced dive – kids can also learn how to program it using Python.
