Young coders will be coding in minutes as they programme PYXEL to move, make sounds, express emotions, and more, all while having lots of fun building STEM skills. Children connect their own tablet or computer (not included) to PYXEL to access the UI. Next, they can use the block coding language Blockly (which is similar to Scratch) or text-based Python to create code sequences that make their PYXEL walk, bark, wag its tail, change colour, express emotions, and more. Children can either run the code using their device or step away and run up to six sequences using the included Code Activator. PYXEL is ready to code in minutes, and is perfect for first timers and coding pros thanks to the easy-to-use interface and step-by-step instructions. PYXEL has its own password-protected Wi-Fi, so there’s no internet needed. Includes PYXEL Coding Pet with built-in Wi-Fi, Code Activator, USB-C cord, and Quickstart Guide. Code Activator requires 2 AAA batteries not included. Ages 8 and up.
