Let's Start Coding Kits: More Than Just Toys
When you purchase a Let's Start Coding kit, you get much more than a typical toy. These all-in-one packages provide kids with fun, hands-on circuits, free software, and hundreds of guided projects to ignite their curiosity and creativity.
No special computer required: Our kits are compatible with most Windows, Mac, and Chromebook laptops and desktops, including Windows 7 and up and Mac OSX 10.9 and up. They do not work with tablets or smartphones, and Linux support is limited.
Coding without subscriptions: The projects and resources that come with the kits are completely free and open for anyone to use. There are no logins or passwords for kids to remember - they can simply open a web browser and start coding.
Endless possibilities: When a program is uploaded to the kit, it overwrites the previous one. This means kids can share the kit and upload an infinite number of programs to it. They can also work together on the challenges, a process known as "pair programming."
Designed for beginners: All of the Let's Start Coding kits are designed for total beginners. Each one covers coding basics like loops, variables, and functions. Customers can choose the kit that best fits their child's interests and add more over time as they progress.
A guided experience: Hundreds of sequenced, free online projects guide kids through the basics of coding. Girls and boys can follow the lessons at their own pace, building up their skills over time. The example code, walkthrough videos, and challenges help kids learn to experiment and create their own programs.
Hands-on electronics: The kits feature a breadboard-free and wire-free electronic construction, making it easy for kids to create circuits. It's like a Snap Circuits kit that's also codeable.
Real coding, real feedback: By following the step-by-step projects, kids learn about analog vs. digital logic, computer processing speed, decision-making, and building basic circuits. They get immediate feedback when they build something, and they're introduced to the C++ coding language used by major companies and agencies.
Inspire a new passion: Coding fundamentals like variables, loops, functions, and more are taught through these kits, laying a foundation for languages like Python, JavaScript, and Java. Even if kids don't become professional programmers, these skills are valuable in many fields.
Designed for success: Let's Start Coding kits have been created by educators and coders to engage kids 8 and up, challenge their minds, and introduce them to core coding concepts in a fun and accessible way.
Trust the experts: Backed by US-based support and highly awarded by organizations like Purdue University and the Modern Library Awards, these kits are a smart option for parents looking to introduce coding to their children.
