Dive into coding with a hand-held electronic circuit board — equipped with touch sensors, lights, sounds, remote control, and an accelerometer. LaunchPad can be programmed as an electronic board game, a light and sound show, a musical instrument, a speed reaction game, a balance device, or anything else students can think of. Unlike other coding platforms, students learn the fundamentals of coding principles through activities, thought experiments, class discussions, journaling, and guided and independent coding. They also explore and use real-life coding strategies to bring their ideas to life.
