For kids interested in learning to code, Tommy the Turtle is a basic introduction to the commands, sequences, and loops involved in the coding process. Kids are guided through coding to make Tommy the Turtle sing, dance, and move on stage. There is also a challenge mode where kids are asked to solve more advanced coding problems independently or with friends. This app can be used at home or in the technology classroom. Coding helps kids develop problem-solving skills and become more comfortable using technology.
