Wonder makes robotics as delightful as finger painting. With a picture-based coding language and guided challenges, Wonder lets kids ages 8 and up explore robotics on their own – and have a blast doing it. A FRESH NEW LOOK The redesigned main menu puts everything one tap away: - Scroll Quest – multiple guided coding adventures, from first steps to tricky puzzles - Free Play – an open coding canvas for your own inventions CODING ADVENTURES WITH DASH Travel through the African Grasslands, the Arctic Wilderness and even Outer Space to uncover new ideas for your robot. Transform Dash into a ferocious lion, dodge asteroids together, play a game of Marco Polo, and much more. Every challenge introduces a new coding concept – sequences, events, loops, conditions and variables – through play. CREATE YOUR OWN INVENTIONS When you're ready, jump into Free Play and build anything you can imagine. Once your program is finished, transfer it to Dash – the next time you turn Dash on, it runs your code without being connected to an iPhone or iPad. HOW TO GET STARTED 1. Turn on Dash and enable Bluetooth on your iPhone or iPad. 2. Open Wonder and connect to Dash from the main menu. 3. Update your robot when prompted. The update brings new sounds, personality and abilities and may take up to 10 minutes. 4. Start with Challenges to learn the basics, then explore Free Play.

About

SteadySteps Math

Features
Read full description

SteadySteps turns a short placement check and every answer into adaptive Grades 2-8 practice, question-specific Teach Me lessons, and a focused ten-minute Parent Plan. A required starting check identifies a useful place to begin. From there, practice adapts to independent answers, supported answers, recent accuracy, and skills due for review. Each daily session starts with three Math Facts and ends with a concise review of what the child practiced. When a child needs help, Teach Me explains the exact idea in clear, question-specific steps without simply giving away the answer. A full-screen scratchpad provides room to draw and work. Parents can see learning evidence, coverage, missed answers, and progress by topic. Parent Plan turns recent work into a focused ten-minute session, and a weekly PDF can be shared with a teacher or tutor. Features include: - Placement-led adaptive practice for Grades 2-8 - Question-specific Teach Me lessons - Full-screen drawing scratchpad - Math Facts practice and reference material - Parent Plan based on actual missed answers - Learning progress and local PDF reporting - Optional practice reminders - Offline child profiles and progress with private Apple-to-Apple iCloud sync No SteadySteps account is required. Progress remains available offline and, by default, can follow the parent's iCloud account between Apple devices. Sync can be turned off and its private iCloud copy deleted in the app. Apple and Android progress do not sync with each other. Good Guys Labs does not operate a learner-data server or receive the private iCloud copy. The app contains no third-party advertising, analytics, or tracking. An active auto-renewing monthly subscription is required after onboarding. Eligible new subscribers receive a three-day free trial. The localized renewal price and any applicable offer terms are shown before purchase. Subscriptions can be managed or canceled in App Store account settings.
