Blocks of code are taken off the screen of a connected device and are represented physically by the different types of pods included in the kit. Brightly colored plastic pods with oversized buttons and knobs are connected by thick cords to physically create computer code that can tell stories, play music, and even crack jokes.<br> <br>In addition to the physical kit, there is a specially designed curriculum that includes 19 lessons, representing 25 hours of classroom instruction. The lessons cover a wide range of skills, from the basics of computer programming to more complex topics, like topography and binary numbers. Regardless of your students’ abilities, Code Jumper creates an accessible and inclusive learning environment in which anyone can learn the foundations of coding!<br> <br><em><span
