Cog makes coding tangible, students use block code to control lights, sensors, and sounds for hands-on physical computing.
Cog is a compact physical computing device that brings coding off the screen and into students’ hands. Learners program interactive inputs like buttons, lights, sensors, and sounds using block-based coding, helping them explore sequencing, loops, and real-world input/output in a fun, hands-on way.
