With Bitsbox, students learn to program by creating apps. The Bitsbox.com website provides each student with a virtual tablet and a place to type their code. This is a subscription based kit packed with new programming projects every month! The experience starts with lots of guidance, first showing learners exactly what to type, then quickly encouraging them to modify and expand their apps by typing in new commands.
Students can use Chromebooks.
Students are encouraged to make accounts but it is not required.
Our Mobile Makerspace Kit comes with binders of cards that are ready to use.
Bitsbox is based on Javascript /HTML5. A library of programming commands is provided.
