Love to Code Creative Coding Kit with Microsoft® MakeCode

Fun and friendly way to engage with coding allows a student to begin with block-based coding and progress to typing on a keyboard.

• Microsoft® MakeCode is ideal for younger students, while older students will love experimenting with Chibiscript
• Same concepts are taught with both coding languages
• MakeCode coding language has student slide together friendly and colorful blocks that represent computational statements
• Chibiscript is an Arduino-based, beginner-friendly coding language
• Reinvents the book through paper electronics
• Craft functional circuits directly into the pages of the included storybook while learning how to bring images to life through code
• Story joins Fern the Frog in learning the sometimes hard, but fun concepts in coding
• Start with turning on an LED, then learning how to make it blink
• Projects will become interactive after learning how to craft several types of paper circuit switches, while learning about variables and conditional statements
• Wrap up with learning how to create more aesthetically pleasing light-fading effects using loops and multi-threading
• Also contains a comprehensive appendix on debugging which helps students develop the skills to evaluate, find, and fix problems in projects
• Get started with an easy-to-use web-only environment that requires no software to install or drivers to configure
• Code is uploaded to Chibi Chip via common headphone jack
• Includes book, 150 Chibiscript pages and 160 Microsoft® MakeCode pages to put in book, Chibi Chip pre-mounted in a Chibi Clip, programming cable, 2 rolls of copper tape, 36 white LED stickers, 64 conductive fabric patches, stencil for sketching component outlines, and a Chibi Book powered ring binder
• Requires 3 AA batteries (not included)
