The Finch is a programmable robot that brings computer science to life by providing students from kindergarten to college a hands-on representation of their code.

 

It is a robot designed to grow with students. From icon- and block-based coding to advanced text-based programming, the Finch is a tool for elementary school, AP computer science, and every class in between. This low floor, high ceiling tool includes materials designed for teachers who are new to coding so they can meet the needs of students at all experience levels.
