SAS CodeSnaps vs Owlet

CodeSnaps is a collaborative coding environment requiring only one robot and one iPad. CodeSnaps takes advantage of tangible, printed coding blocks allowing students to prepare programs together on a work surface without a device. When blocks are scanned with the CodeSnaps app, the program is then executed on the connected robot. Features include: • Printable, tangible blocks equipped with QR codes allowing programs to be scanned with the CodeSnaps app • A digital coding space for further manipulating programs after scanning or starting a program from scratch • A variety of coding blocks including advanced concepts such as loops. • Support for Sphero robots including BOLT, SPRK+, Sphero, Ollie, and Sphero Mini • Cloud storage so students can access their programs anytime, anywhere • Teacher resources and lesson guides.
