My 8 year old son has been using Blockly to code and create different games on a tablet for a while so he was familiar with it but taking that to the next level and being able to use coding to tell a little robot friend what to do was very exciting to him. Being able to code at a young age will not only give your child a huge advantage by letting him the tools to create and makes his own ideas a reality through programming but it also trains the brain to understand how things work and are created in this digital age opening up your child’s curiosity and opportunities for learning. Like any new language when kids starts coding t a young age they quickly pick this new language up and after a while it just becomes second nature to them. They are learning to code without even being aware of it. As the kids complete different coding challenges and tutorials they can move on to other harder ones and start creating their own. Because both Blockly and Wonder coding languages are so easy to use and intuitive kids can start coding immediately and there is not really a learning curve. You can use Apple or Android phones or tables to program Dash to do anything your child could desire from recording his voice and dancing to following him around and reacting to voice commands. One of the first things you are asked to do as he wakes up and come to life is to choose a personality for him which we thought was awesome as this really let’s kids personalize Dash from the start and let’s them find a personality that fits with theirs.ĭash comes with hundreds of exciting coding adventures and projects available in Wonder and Blockly apps. He really seems to come to life as he looks around his environment and recognizes people. My whole family fell in love with Dash the minute we turned him on. That interaction with you child and Dash’s personality which makes him seem come to life make him not only a fun educational toy but there is an instant emotional connection that makes Dash more of a robot buddy or pet. ![]() One of the most fun parts about Dash and what really sets him apart from other similar toy robots is not only that fact that he is very easy to program through Blockly and Wonder apps but that he is responsive to the world around him and to your child. ![]() Dash robot is the perfect toy for parents looking for an education STEM toy for children that will teach them coding in a fun way.
