HaloCode Lesson Pack

DESCRIPTION

The Makeblock HaloCode is a single board computer with built-in Wi-Fi specifically designed for education. It has a compact design and integrates a broad selection of electronic sensors and modules.

We understand that as teachers planning your lessons can be a long and tedious process or a parent who would like their child to develop new and exciting programming skills, it can be difficult to know where to begin.

To help you save time and effort, we have developed a series of six fun and engaging 1-hour lessons to introduce your students or children to the world of block programming and introducing them to the Python programming language. 

Note: This requires the Makeblock HaloCode (sold separately)
