●Innovative "Coding" Platform PockeTurtle is a tangible “coding” robot that is designed specifically for kids at their early stage of cognitive development, where learning through playing with tangible objects is hugely important. The turtle can be programed with unconventional “coding” tools, such as cards and color pens – which can not only reduce kids' “screen time” but also encourages more physical play. ●Comprehensive Curriculum PockeTurtle has a rich curriculum that consists of 3 levels with 150+ hours of materials. The curriculum is based on constructionism which encourages kids to learn through discovery and play. The curriculum focuses on problem solving skill development as well as building kids communication and collaboration skills with collaborative and cooperative game play. ●Easy Deployment The curriculum is easy to deploy. We provide free teacher training and online resources. Even teachers with no prior experience and no background in computer science can master this curriculum quickly. The “unplugged” platform puts minimum requirement on hardware and facilities of the schools (any classroom with tables will work).
