The iRobot Root is a great resource for teaching coding and computer science concepts. The iRobot Root is a multi-platform, learn-to-code application designed for students of varied ages. Its multiple learning levels and programming styles, allows it to advance in complexity alongside students’ coding skills.

Don't have an iRobot Root? Go to the simulator and check it out. There you can find tons of free resources and challenges in the learning library that students can do online!

VEXcode Virtual Robot

Hello friends!
My name is Jennifer Priest and I have the pleasure of serving as the ATIM in region 2.

VEX Virtual Robot

While VEX robots are a great tool to have in the classroom, this virtual robot is a great option to teach computer science in a fun, engaging way. It encourages computational thinking and problem-solving.

Hi - I'm dr. courtney winn hamilton and i serve region 3 at alabama a&m univeristy. in honor of csedweek i am happy to share with you...
code monkey

CLICK HERE to access a library of webinars on how to implement Code Monkey during CSEDWeek.

CodeMonkey is an educational computer coding environment that allows beginners to learn computer programming concepts and languages. CodeMonkey is intended to be used for students in elementary and middle school.

Greetings, young coding Padawan! I am Jedi Master Robert Mayben from the UA-UWa Inservice galaxy! I like to take flight with coding using the codrone edu.

Students can gain real-world experience and see their code in action by programming the CoDrone EDU with Blockly or Python! Learn more at Take Flight with Drones in Education.

Greetings! My name is Pernell Allen, & I serve as the ATIM Specialist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Go Blazers! I'm located in Region 5, and one of my favorite tools for integrating computer science (CS) into the curriculum, is Tinkercad.

Tinkercad Codeblocks leverages the same familiar shapes available in Tinkercad's 3D workspace. It empowers users to modify these shapes using block-based code that's easy to understand. Codeblocks are for users of all skill levels. Tinkercad can also be used for Simulation Labs and Circuits as well.
