July 9, 2017 by

Description

Cato’s Hike is a game for the iPhone & iPad teaching young children and beginners basic programming skills.Younger students will enjoy solving levels using simple coding techniques while older students will be able to use advanced concepts.

Learning to use loops and branching as well as even more advanced concepts such as basic stack or memory. The LITE version is more that enough encourage the young and beginners to start learning whilst encouraging them to progress further.

Cato is a little boy who just like every little boy likes to go out and play. One fine day Cato was playing outside when a portal to another world opened up in front of him; a portal to another world!

Cato stepped through and discovered that this world unlike his own didn’t follow the same rules. Every time he tried to take a step or an action he’d find himself stuck in place. Stuck that is until he finally discovered the rules in this universe: by writing a program for himself he would be able to overcome all obstacles and learn something new along the way!

“learning Code for Kids” loves the “Lite” version. It is colourful and keeps the user engaged.

Lightbot Jr 4+ Coding Puzzles Android learning code for kids app review 1

Teachers worldwide are choosing Lightbot first out of other games and software when introducing their students to programming.Lightbot Junior features 42 levels

“My son loves it! It’s simple enough for my five year old and he’s so proud of himself. He loves watching the little robot go the way he tells it to. I know this isn’t “real” coding but it’s prepping him to think properly to be able to code in a few years, after he’s mastered reading and writing. Best of all (for me), the app didn’t work n my tablet when I bought it so I wrote to the developer. I got a quick response that they were working on it and they kept me up to date as they fixed the problem. Their customer support is appreciated.”

Lightbot Jr 4+ Coding Puzzles Android learning code for kids app review 5

“Sweet little app Would rate it 5*, but I second Róbert Belán in that I would like the robot to have a slow execution speed so my 3yo son manages to follow its moves and understand what’s happening. Maybe add a “Step by Step” button, which will make the robot execute each step of the sequence only when pressed. Or maybe even show the icon for its current action above his head or anywhere in the main area of the screen. I’m sure you can think of a way to help the youngest better understand what’s happening. Thanks!”

“My 6yo loves this app He’s working his way through the app and loves it. This sort of game teaches logical thinking, planning and even spatial orientation. Thoroughly recommended.”
