Learning Resources Switcheroo Coding Crew 4 years+ STEM logic toy

The Coding Critters Switcheroo set from Learning Resources is a kit designed specifically for little ones who are just discovering the concepts of coding. Children learn the first notions of programming with the help of toy cars that they can program to follow a route of their choosing, turning the game into a fun introduction to logical and sequential thinking. The set is recommended for children aged 4 and up.

STEM sets are based on the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) curriculum, where children learn science, technology, engineering, and math. This paradigm is based on experiments with everyday elements to help little ones easily understand different phenomena and concepts, and Switcheroo brings this approach into a practical and fun game for little hands.

To start playing, children assemble the 9 pieces to build the city map, then choose the desired car: a police car, a fire truck, or a construction vehicle. Once started, the car can be programmed to perform various stunts, such as knocking over barrels or navigating around obstacles. In play mode, young programmers will discover that their car can make various sounds and lights that make each mission even more engaging.

For even more fun, children can use the included booklet, which suggests additional challenges. Besides the suggested challenges, the set can be used to invent your own coding games and more, encouraging creativity and problem-solving. The set requires 3 AAA batteries, which are not included.
