Get to Know:

A little robot with a lot of possibilities. Root helps students learn, play, and explore using their imaginations and is the only coding companion that grows with them from pre-readers through high school. Coders of any age or skill level can use Root as their creative tool in defying gravity and climbing walls or moving about on smooth surfaces to draw artwork, play music, respond to touch and color, or use many of its other unique qualities.

Root's app features integrated help to guide you through three levels of coding interfaces designed to grow with you as your skills and knowledge improve, beginning with simple sequences and patterns and working up to advanced programming languages like Swift (Python and JavaScript coming soon)! Get the Root Coding app from the Apple App Store. It comes with a one-month trial of Root Academy, which features exclusive learning content, lessons, and projects to put your skills to the test, a built-in simulator, and so much more!
