Overview

A tiny line-following robot that reads colored marker codes on paper, so young children can program it without a screen. It suits K–5 classrooms, which get a large free lesson library, and older students can move on to Blockly and Python. Its size and screen-free coding set it apart from app-only robots. It is best at following lines on paper or tablets, and there is little room for add-on hardware.
