STEM Pack. Programming & Math for Kids!

教育

Unlock your child's potential and introduce them to the exciting world of programming with 'Move the Turtle' - the app trusted by parents and educators worldwide. Our fun and easy-to-use platform empowers kids with 21st century skills, helping them learn to code and prepare for a bright future! *** Winner of a Parents’ Choice Gold Award _______________________________________________ "I highly recommend it for all kids, whether or not they want to get into programming. The kind of thinking required to solve the tasks in the app is important for everyone to learn, for every field of study." -- Wired.com / Geek Dad "Are you a computer geek that loves programming or are you a classroom teacher instructing on such skills as angles, measurement and two dimensional geometry? If you answered yes to either these, then you have come to the right educational app" -- IEAR.org "I spent my formative tech-years trundling a robo-turtle around the floor while learning the Logo programming language. Now there's an app for that, although in this case the turtle is virtual" -- The Guardian _______________________________________________ *** Move the Turtle teaches children (ages 5+) the basics of programming (yes, we do mean coding!) *** Challenges and rewards keep children (with parents' assistance) & teenagers (on their own) engaged! ----------------------------------- Do you remember the Logo programming language? A friendly Turtle will introduce your child step by step to the basic concepts of programming in a colourful graphic environment. Who knows, maybe your child will be the next outstanding programmer! By completing the tasks, one after another, your child learns: *** how to plan complex activities composed of simple elements *** how to reuse previously completed work *** how to use graphics, spatial orientation and sound in programming Your child will also become familiar with the notions of loops, procedures, variables and conditional instructions. Programming is about more than completing tasks, it is also about implementing your own ideas using your imagination. With this in mind we give you the opportunity to create your own programs from scratch or based on our inspiring examples. ----- Website: https://movetheturtle.com/ Our new math app: https://correctresult.app/

Teacher Review: Good Little App
2015/08/29

Baskervilles
This is an interesting programming app. I like the layout, graphics and price. We tried Hopscotch with a class, which was a disaster. This is much more straightforward, but could use some tweaks to make it easier to use with kids.Some of the directions are confusing. With more detailed directions explaining cause and effect, this would be 5 stars for me. For example, why does the turtle need to change colors to achieve a goal? The app says that there is a problem that needs to be solved, but as a user it doesn't seem that way. Some of these details seem counterintuitive, but not so much that I wouldn't try this with a group of kids.This is definitely worth evaluating!

A lot of potential, but needs work

There doesn't seem to be any sound, which is a serious lack. There are bugs in the levels, the difficulty progresses far too quickly, and there is no way to design custom levels. But it does what it says on the tin: Teaches programming basics while seeming like any other game. Also, the multiple users feature is an unusual and greatly appreciated bonus. Four stars because it doesn't seem to have any competition.

Great take on LOGO

Way better than spending time hurling birds. This is both educational and fun, and the step by step introductions are flawless. It works natively on iPad, so my kids can have a larger canvas. Devs: try to remove some of the modal dialogs; assume edit in most cases rather than prompting edit/delete.Also, my son made it through many levels without 'getting' the objectives of that level-- perhaps make it a bit tougher to advance.
