Plan the arrows, press Run and guide the robot to the star!
This is how programmers think: plan all the steps first (an algorithm), run them, and if the robot crashes, find the wrong step and fix it (debugging). Encourage your child to point at the grid and count the squares before pressing Run.
Coding is not about typing strange words — it is about planning steps, testing them and fixing what goes wrong. Robot Code teaches exactly that with arrows. Children write a short program (up, right, right, down…), press Run and watch the robot follow it. If it hits a rock or stops too early, they find the wrong step and fix it: that is debugging. Ten levels lead from straight lines to real mazes.
Best for ages 6–12
Yes. Sequences of commands, algorithms and debugging are the core ideas of programming, used in every language from Scratch to Python.
No. The commands are arrows, so even pre-readers can play with a little help.
Our free CodoKids app continues with loops, conditions and 40 robot-maze levels, and our coding guide explains when and how to start.
