Being able to \"see\" the effects of their coding by having a tangible item to play with made their introduction to programming so much better. All of the students were successful in coding the entry level projects like creating a name tag. We also had students go on to create a tug-o-war game, a compass and even a \"flappy-bird\" style game. Every students was able to access the project, gain some real-world insight on coding and robotics. Overall, this hands-on coding experience greatly enhanced their unit on Artificial Intelligence. \r\n\r\nI can't express how grateful I am to have a tool that I will continue to use with my students for years to come.
