Code Rocket is an exceptionally fun and exciting way for children ages 8 - 12 to learn to write code while gaining an abundance of hands-on experience! The physical Code Rocket is a programmable circuit board in the shape of a rocket with multi-colored LED lights, buttons, and a speaker built into its structure. Connecting Code Rocket to a Windows PC, Mac or Chromebook computer lets kids progress through a sequence of 20 online projects that teach them the basics of C++ computer coding. Youngsters with no prior experience have a blast diving into the nitty-gritty of editing, compiling and executing code. Each project contains example code ready to compile and execute, a video that takes viewers through the code line by line, a hands-on coding challenge and a clear explanation of the concepts at work. Each program's impact on Code Rocket's versatile sonic and visual functionality conveys the exciting cause-and-effect that makes the act of programming so spellbinding! Kit includes Code Rocket board, USB cable and 9 two-sided code reference cards.
