If you want your kids to learn coding, you are not alone. And, you have come to a great place! By the time that elementary-aged children enter the workforce, coding might be as mandatory as showing up for work. Luckily, we have two new secrets to help kids get ahead of the game. Our newest STEM toys are the Base and Ultimate Kits from Let's Start Coding and they’re the real deal.
They have created two unique kits for creative students to use to help build their programming skills. Each one features interactive games and some age-appropriate activities for kids as young as six years old who want to get ahead of the game (or for parents who want to help get them ahead of the game). With project potential aplenty, these fun kits are sure to provide an exciting introduction to the thrills of coding and help kids build skills that will last a lifetime all while they have some meaningful fun.
The Base Kit
Using the Base Kit, kids can start writing code in the simplest way possible. It has the coolest components and tons of ways for students to expand their skills as they use code to control anything from LED lights to the sounds their devices produce! With over 40 example programs and projects, this kit is ready to teach!
The Ultimate Kit
After mastering the basics, the Ultimate Kit ramps coding challenges way up! Kids learn to use inputs, like heat, sound, and light, to control cool, DIY devices while exploring 90 example programs! Everything they'll want to know about coding can be learned while using the Ultimate Kit!
Both hands-on kits are extremely valuable additions to classrooms and makerspaces as they offer children chances to learn through play. Most importantly, they provide a very steady progression so kids are able to measure how their skills evolve and know exactly when they are ready to move on to something a bit more complex. For any instructors looking to introduce coding in a way that’s not intimidating and not expensive, either of the Let's Start Coding Kits are a great place to start!
BONUS: We'll also have another intro to coding solution in the works. Starting sometime in June, our store will also feature the BRAND NEW littleBits Code Kits! We wanted to give you the heads up if you wanted to grab this kit before heading back to school! We’ll share more information once we have it in stock.
We'll provide bulk ordering options for schools or you may request a quote to get the tools that'll work best for your needs! Please call or email us if you have any questions and we will be happy to assist you!
