![]() There's lots of opportunity for them to discover things, and it's fun for them to see which of their instincts/guesses work out." "We got the chance to sit down with the box last night and it is even better than I expected! I loved the design and sense of humour, I loved how open-ended the apps are and how kids can start tuning and experimenting even in the first couple of pages. We ordered this from Amazon, but will definitely be getting a subscription." I've had them explain to their dad what each line of code does, and they really get it! Thank you! I would love to see a referral/affiliate program. They are so motivated by even the simplest app. By the second app they copied, they were able to easily modify the given lines of code and have been experimenting with adding many of their own lines of code, increasing in complexity as they go. "I have to say that I am absolutely amazed by what my 8 and 10 year olds have learned so far. Bitsbox effectively mitigates the first of these, while eliminating the second." 8 year olds) and two barriers immediately became evident: the need for syntactically correct code and the lack of a quick payoff vs. A few months ago we started a Python class for our 'graduates' (i.e. Scratch/Blockly) to a purely text based environment. "I have seen first hand the difficultly in transitioning kids from a block based coding environment (e.g. Normally we use Scratch, but for the last day of the term I decided to give Bitsbox a go. "I used Bitsbox at our coding club on Tuesday. We are for sure a promoter for you guys and I will be tell as many people I can about it." As I mentioned, my son Jackson has tried a lot of other sites and your seems to be one he doesn't want to stop working on. "I just want to let you know how great they think it is. And I am so proud of their learning! Thank you so much for giving my students a real coding experience!" My students are animated and excited about Bitsbox in a way I haven't seen with the other programs. ![]() "I am a middle school computers teacher in upstate New York (suburban Rochester). Bitsbox is the best material and coding environment I have found so far." I've taught a number of programming workshops for kids. "Thanks! Learning to code will help my 10-year-old grandson realize how important spelling is! Xander was so excited to get the Bitsbox when it was delivered! He coded all of the cards and had a lot of fun doing it. My hope is to introduce in class and generate interest for parents to continue feeding the flame of coding and computer science in the elementary levels grades 2-4." "I'm super pumped to share our experiences coding with Bitsbox with families throughout our school community. Only problem now is that the 7 year old younger sister might have to be signed up too, to avoid WW3. Fantastic job with the design, love the recycled packaging, and the first impressions of the coding experience is thumbs up. "Wanted to give a big bouquet to you all for the excitement and enjoyment my 9 year old daughter got when she received her first Bitsbox yesterday in Middle Earth (New Zealand). He is having a blast with it - just yesterday he accessed his account from school during free time & had a group of students and teachers around him in minutes. My (very cool!!) little sister got my 13 year old son a bitsbox for his birthday. They asked me to teach them to code games - where do I start with a 7 year old? Bitsbox is perfect." "My two boys Tom 10 and Ben 7 are positively obsessed with Bitsbox. He's learning coding and English and he loves it." Consider it as spending some quality time to walk him through the instructions and translate. ![]() "My son is 8, reading and writing English still is a bit of a problem. I am really impressed by the platform and definitely want to keep her moving forward." I work to get her to think about what the programs will do, and encourage her to play around with changes. "I've got to say, my daughter is loving her first Bitsbox. Just thought I'd share so you could see how your kind gift truly means so much to him." ![]() He's spending lots of time on Bitsbox code. "Wow! Thank you so much! My son had surgery, so he's on very limited activity while he heals. They've been playing with Scratch and, but they felt that this was much cooler and loved the fact they were writing real code." "My kids spent 6 hours playing with Bitsbox last night. ![]()
