How Will Code Jumper Benefit My Students?

=9d0944a0ba&e=1bdafb4586> Code Jumper is a fun and engaging product designed
to teach students how to code. Blocks of code are taken off the screen of a
connected device and are represented physically by the different types of
pods included in the kit. Brightly colored plastic pods with oversized
buttons and knobs are connected by thick cords to physically create computer
code that can tell stories, play music, and even crack jokes.
 
In addition to the physical kit, there is a specially designed curriculum
that includes 19 lessons, representing 25 hours of classroom instruction.
The lessons cover a wide range of skills, from the basics of computer
programming to more complex topics, like topography and binary numbers.
Regardless of your students' abilities, Code Jumper creates an accessible
and inclusive learning environment in which anyone can learn the foundations
of coding!
