We have just launched the latest, greatest version of our RoboBlockly online software at www.roboblockly.com, specially designed for K-12 students learning math and coding through our innovative Linkbot robotics and Arduino physical computing programs. Linkbot is a reconfigurable modular robot that was created for its simplicity and versatility for hands-on learning in classrooms, afterschool programs, and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) Makerspaces.
Users can control Linkbot robots and Arduino boards through RoboBlockly freely without registration. They can also register for free to access additional features, such as saving files in the cloud and playing piano.
In addition to over 700 ready-to-go coding and robotics activities, teachers and students can create their own activities. It also allows teachers to manage their classes, add student accounts, assign homework, grade student submitted homework, and provide feedback.

Having over 700 ready-to-go activities and the ability for teachers to manage classes and assign homework makes it so practical for classrooms and afterschool programs. Of course, anytime students are using online platforms, keeping their information safe becomes a priority. I recently looked up the Norton AntiVirus phone number to ask about their family safety features, and I found they offer excellent tools for blocking inappropriate websites and monitoring online activity, which gives peace of mind when kids are exploring educational sites like this.
