Dash the robot will help spark students interest while learning important skills at the same time. There are many reasons why your children might benefit from adding ‘real-world’ component like Dash to their coding. They may find learning and coding with something that physically responds more interesting than working purely in an app. A robot like Dash feels more real than a digital character – cuter and more endearing. This is helped by its ability to turn its head to where your voice is coming from – if programmed to, of course – so that it appears to be looking at you and listening. Dash also aids with comprehension. As with algebra and much of science, learning to code is as more about providing children with the correct mental models of how it all works than learning specific programming languages – so they’re both prepared for further study when their older (if they want to be programmers or data scientists or whatever) or just have an underlying understanding of how technology works (if they don’t). Robots like Dash show children than coding isn’t just about pushing pixels around behind a screen, but is used to control physical systems from your house’s heating system to space rockets. They also make coding a more shared, collaborative experience.
