Has my child really finished all the levels?
There are five coding planets or courses with many levels in Kodable available to your child! To find these courses you will select Mission Control from Fuzztopia which opens the game selection screen.
The seven courses with multiple levels are...
⭐️Cloudhaven: Sequencing
⭐️Smeeborg: Sequencing and Conditions
⭐️Beach Cleanup: Application of Sequence and Conditions
⭐️Aquatopia: Patterns and Repeats
⭐️Asteroid Belt: Introduction to Variables
⭐️ Moongarden: Functions and Pattern Decomposition (Note: Premium and Premium+ users only)
From here you can easily check your child's progress in each course by seeing how many stars they have earned and how many they must earn before finishing that level. Simply click on one of the planets and you will see the yellow bar below each planet. If they have not earned all the stars they have not finished the level yet.
In the example above, you can see Blue Fuzz has earned 24 stars out of 87 within Cloudhaven which means they still have more coding to do in this course! Time to get coding, Blue Fuzz!
Unlimited Access Opportunities
Within Kodable there are four areas that have unlimited student access! This means students can play within these areas as much as they want. These areas are creation games that apply coding concepts your child has already learned through playing Kodable. The unlimited access areas are Maze Maker, Fuzz Builder, Game Designer, and Pets. These areas are located within Fuzztopia.
Maze Maker
Maze Maker: Build, test, solve, and share custom mazes. Try solving the mazes other kids in your family have shared!
Fuzz Builder
Fuzz Builder: Use the Fuzz Builder to build lots of their own unique Fuzzes, then play with them in the games. Costumes, accessories, and new features are continuously released.
Pets
Pets: In Kodable Pets, students program robots, called Carebots, to automate everyday pet chores such as feeding, grooming, and walking. Students can also train their pets to do unique tricks, all with code!
Game Designer
Game Designer: If you student is ready for a more advanced challenge, your child can make their own game using variables! How does the game change when the values of variables change? Use KODE to design, construct, personalize, and test an asteroid-blaster game.
Bug World: At Home Extension
Looking for even more coding opportunities for your student? Check out our newest app Bug World! Bug World is the newest product from Kodable that is included with Premium, Premium+, and parent PRO plans. Users have full access to the new Bug World game. Before playing learners will need to download the app to play. Bug World is currently only available for play on IOS devices and not available on the web yet.
The Bug World app is a more in depth and advanced version of our beloved Bug World Planet within the Kodable galaxy! Bug World includes over 30 engaging levels where learners can practice advance functions and object oriented coding. Bug World is an amazing resource for teachers and parents looking for extended practice of advanced coding skills. Bug World can be played at school as an extension or at home for even more targeted practice.
Weekly Challenges
Advanced players can take on weekly challenges to apply their coding experience widely! When new challenges are available, tap the pulsing red dot on the rank badge, next to your child's name.
You can see this week's challenges and your child's progress toward meeting them.
Can my child write actual code, like JavaScript or Swift?
Kodable prepares your child for an easy transition from symbol-based code to writing their own code in JavaScript or Swift. When your child has battled all the Slimes in the Bug World game (and learned and applied Object-Oriented Programming languages), we recommend skipping over block-coding apps and writing the real thing!
Codeacademy is an online interactive platform that offers free coding classes in 12 different programming languages
Head First Books are brain-friendly guides that teach everything from JavaScript language fundamentals to advanced topics, including objects and functions.
