This brilliant Thames and Kosmos Code Gamer Kit will teach children the how to code while playing using Arduino. Arduino is an open-source platform used universally for building electronics projects and is widely used in schools. This is a great starter project for children aged 10 years and over who have shown an interest in game coding and electronics and programming.
Firstly, you assemble the gamepad, install the free app onto an iPad, tablet or other mobile device and as you use the game pad to control the characters the kit shows the coding that needs to be added to advance and build the game. There are also four different sensors to add which can also develop the game. For example, add a sound sensor to enable you to clap to get past obstacles in the game.
You can also complete a further 19 experiences by downloading the Arduino software to your pc. This science kit will teach children progressively harder programming codes all while building their own game which they can challenge friends with harder and harder levels. Watch the video below for a full demonstration.
