Hatchicons

Hatchicons is an app specifically designed for children ages 5-9 to use with the Hatchling Robotics Kit! Children assemble blocks to code the kit to move, light up, make sounds, and respond to sensors. Hatchicons is an icon-based programming language, so pre-readers can build foundational computer science skills. Hatchicons includes two different levels to gradually expose children to more concepts in computational thinking: Level 1 introduces sequencing. For example, children connect blocks to control the kit's motors or lights. Level 2 introduces parameters, sensors, and control. These allow children to make fully featured programs that respond precisely to sensory inputs. Requirements: This app requires a Hatchling Robotics Kit. The app connects to the kit via Bluetooth BLE, so make sure Bluetooth is enabled!
