Blockly for Dash & Dot Robots introduces them to coding using visual blocks of code. Kids work through a hands-on tutorial and then can complete puzzles wherein they must write the prescribed programs. They can also create their own programs and save them in-app. Dash & Dot from Wonder Workshop is a connected learning system that works with a pair of real-world robots named Dash and Dot. Using the two robots and a handful of Android and iOS apps such as Blockly, kids will learn the fundamentals of programming, problem solving skills, and much more. These robots can not only help prepare young minds for eventual technology careers, they're also a valuable way to reach kids from groups that are less likely to work in technology later on in life.
