Learning.com announced its new EasyCode Virtual Robotics curriculum, through which it will offer Robotify’s content to U.S. schools and districts. The K-12 EasyCode Virtual Robotics curriculum teaches coding through block-based computer programming in a gamified virtual environment.
“We’ve seen increasing interest in coding curriculum for students as young as kindergarten and all the way up through high school,” said Keith Oelrich, CEO of Learning.com. “Virtual robotics is one of the most accessible, equitable and engaging ways to introduce programming to students, and we’re excited to offer Robotify’s outstanding program through our EasyCode product, to equip even more students with future-ready skills.”
EasyCode Virtual Robotics operates fully in a web browser, lowering the technology barriers that often make coding lessons cost-prohibitive for schools. Students design, test and run their code to navigate robots through virtual worlds, from Mars rover to under the sea. The game-based environment is not only student-friendly, but requires no special computer programming experience for teachers.
"It’s our mission to make coding and robotics more fun and engaging for all students, as well as making it more accessible and affordable. This is why we are delighted to partner with Learning.com, a virtual education platform that delivers high quality virtual learning solutions to all students,” said Adam Dalton, CEO of Dublin, Ireland-based Robotify.
