Practical Programming Kits

Makeblock's Neuron Explorer Kit Teaches Apple's Programming Language

— September 21, 2018 — Life-Stages
There are now countless coding toys for young ones of all ages that are designed to introduce basic concepts and activities to kids but Makeblock recently launched a programming kit that is centered around Apple's Swift programming language.

The Neuron Explorer Kit from Makeblock is designed to be used alongside the Swift Playgrounds iPad app, which is ideal for students with little to no previous coding experience. When it comes to learning, kids will be introduced to hands-on projects and concepts in the physical world.

Some of the fun creations that can be made with the exclusive Neuron Explorer Kit include the Explorer car, a Piano, Ukulele and an LED Sword, all of which are designed to inspire kids and get them to approach problem solving from a technology perspective.
Trend Themes
1. Swift Programming Kits - As Swift becomes increasingly popular, programming kits like the Neuron Explorer Kit from Makeblock present an opportunity to teach the language in a fun and interactive way to students.
2. Physical Coding Toys - The Neuron Explorer Kit's emphasis on physical creations and hands-on projects reflects a trend of coding toys that teach programming concepts and problem-solving skills with real-world applications.
3. Interactive Learning Experiences - Toys and kits like the Neuron Explorer Kit from Makeblock create immersive and engaging learning experiences through the combination of technology, physical creations, and real-world applications.
Industry Implications
1. Education - The Neuron Explorer Kit and other coding toys offer new innovative ways to introduce coding concepts to young students who are drawn to hands-on interaction and physical creations.
2. Toy Manufacturing - The increasing demand for coding toys that promote STEM education presents an opportunity for toy manufacturers to create more interactive and creative coding toys like the Neuron Explorer Kit.
3. Technology - As coding becomes more important in our increasingly digital world, technology companies can create more products like the Neuron Explorer Kit that encourage early and fun exposure to programming concepts.
