For schools, kindergartens and coding clubs
Children from age three build real programs out of picture blocks, with a voice that reads every mission aloud. You get a dashboard that shows the whole class at once. Licensed by term, and your teachers do not need to know how to code.
Most coding tools for children assume a reader. This one does not, which is why it works in a kindergarten rather than only in a computer lab.
Children drag picture blocks together. There is nothing to spell and nothing to type, so a three-year-old starts on the same day as a seven-year-old.
Every mission is spoken by a friendly voice. A class that cannot read yet does not need an adult reading the screen to them.
Each mission introduces a single concept and checks the result rather than the exact code, so there are many right answers and children are not marked down for finding one.
A teacher with no coding background can take a class through this. The screen tells you where everybody is, so you spend the lesson with the two children who are stuck rather than walking the room to find them.
Who is on which mission, who is stuck and who has not started. Open a child to see the blocks they actually placed.
Children sign in with a code from the sheet, not an email address and not a password they will forget. Print it once and keep it in the register.
Set a mission for the week and see who did it. The report is the thing to put in front of a parent or a head of department.
Quoted by term against the number of children, so it is one line on a budget rather than a subscription somebody has to remember to renew.
A new school starts with 35 seats for 30 days, with no card and nothing to cancel. Long enough to run it with a real class before deciding.
A seat is a child. Buy the number you teach and move them between classes as your groups change through the year.
Government schools are quoted against a purchase order with a PDF invoice. Private schools and centres can pay by card or transfer. Say which below and the first reply will already be the right one.
A person reads this and a person replies, usually within two working days. If you do not know your numbers yet, send it anyway and say so.
