Sammy the Robot and Coding Concepts

Meet Sammy, a robot designed to introduce children to coding and engineering. Using physical code cards, children can program Sammy to perform various tasks without needing digital devices. The robot interacts with map cards and can be customized to build different models. A comprehensive manual guides children through coding concepts like sequences, loops, and variables. With 417 pieces, children can build and code their own robots, making learning fun and interactive for ages 4-8.
