The Smart Buddies Zara Single Kit App is available for Android and Chromebook/iOS and Kindle devices. It inspires kids to become tomorrows creators and leaders by teaching them to code robots in endless fun combinations.
Within the Smart Buddies app, kids are introduced to eight different role models who have interests in science, engineering, and the arts. Each of these buddies has a STEM specialty, which can be read about in their digital book.
The app connects to the Siggy, a self balancing coding robot that can move, light up, make sounds, and sense the world around it. Kids can put their imaginations and problem solving skills to the test as they learn the basics of block based coding through game like adventures and missions.
