Designed to advance with you as your skills progress, the Root® rt0 is a coding companion that's easy for beginners but still challenging enough to keep experienced coders engaged. Featuring 3 Learning Levels for any ability, you can start where you're comfortable and keep building from there.
Learning Level 1 uses drag-and-drop, graphical blocks to teach the fundamental logic skills of coding. No reading skills required!
Learning Level 2 builds computational fluency with hybrid blocks that feature a mixture of graphics and coding script.
Learning Level 3 uses full-text code to teach the structure and syntax of professional coding languages, including the powerful Swift.
When it's time to progress, use the iRobot® Coding's auto-level converter to instantly translate your programs across all 3 Learning Levels so you can continue learning.
