Root robots are a fun way that people can learn to code while having fun and playing

“Root Robots are a great way to learn how basic coding works while having fun and playing. Students can program the robots to play a tune, draw and move around an obstacle course. The robots can also be programmed to flash lights if it is bumped or tapped,” said Rachel Mabb.
