Students often develop programs and apps in my class, but have no way of testing them that is reliable. Without having the use of a phone, with Wi-Fi, most students would not be able to correctly trouble shoot any coding problems. The lack of materials or opportunities makes teaching these concepts difficult without having that physical connection. These materials will give students an opportunity to use a platform that will allow testing and fixing of their own programs and fix problems within their coding. This will allow students to further their skills at programming, creating sprites, and applying learning to games they create.
