    Sometimes, teaching kids about coding can get complicated. Even with all of these excellent coding solutions that are available for K-12 teachers and their students, it can sometimes feel challenging to pinpoint how exactly to start. So, in this post, we’re exploring the SpriteBox Coding platform, a CS app that educators can use to introduce coding in early elementary school.
  8. Tips & Tricks | The Root + iRobot Coding

    Tips & Tricks | The Root + iRobot Coding
    The Root Robot by iRobot Education is regularly among the most versatile educational robotics devices. With its three levels of coding and something for all students—from pre-readers up to veteran programmers—within their iRobot Coding platform, instructors can access impactful STEAM projects, incorporate new coding concepts, and boost students’ CS development.
