Scottie GO! has been an excellent introduction to coding for the students I teach and my own children at home! The game is accessible to most ages and takes a very tangible approach to learning how to code. The materials provided are durable and easy to work with. Computational thinking is addressed by the app and a natural progression of levels/missions of success. I highly recommend it for any school wanting to get their students interested in learning to code but are not sure where to start. Start with Scottie GO!

Don’t miss out on Scottie Go! game board’s approach to teaching kids to code. Coding sounds intimidating, but what if it is only telling a little robot to start, turn right and move seven spaces, then to end? Now imagine the classic game of snakes and ladders were about four children can play together. Finally, how easy is it to scan a QR code with a smartphone? All of that is Scottie Go. In the afternoon, you take out the Scottie Go game board sets and the students play in little groups at individual tables. They learn to work together, they problem-solve, learn to code, and most importantly, they do all of this while playing. When they think they have the answer, you scan their solution on the board, and the Scottie Go app tells you if it is correct. The school doesn’t have to invest in devices for each child, no internet connection required and, no security issues (you can re-order missing pieces). Scottie Go is the best low-tech mass coding teaching solution available. It is the best investment I have made for my students.

So easy to understand and I love the way you are learning by actually just playing. Let’s fix that spaceship!

Teachers that have incorporated ScottieGo Edu in their classrooms find it a revolutionary take on programming, less screen time, more verbal collaboration between the students

Scottie Go connects real world with physical tiles and digital World with tablets or PCs, also connects simplicity to use with complex decision making. Such combinations makes big impression for teachers and children and makes a lot of difference how teaching is being hosted.

Od paru już lat pracuję z różnymi odmianami gry Scottie Go!. W szkole w której uczę pracuję na zestawach Scottiego Edu, ale miałem też przyjemność pracować z przedszkolakami z zestawem Scottie Go! Basic. Początkowo sądziłem że dzieciaki szybko się znudzą przygodami kosmity, ale tak samo jak one wkręciłem się w jego przygody i pomimo że uczniowie są coraz więksi, często i gęsto sięgamy z powrotem do pudełek i rozkładamy plansze żeby poćwiczyć logiczne myślenie i doskonalić umiejętność rozwiązywania problemów. Połączenie nowoczesnych technologii z układaniem klocków sprawdza się znakomicie. Dzieciaki z radością i ogromnym zaangażowaniem układają programy, rozwiązują zadania, a następnie testują te rozwiązania na swoich telefonach. Cieszy mnie też że coraz więcej nauczycieli korzysta z tego narzędzia i stara się aby urozmaicić swoje zajęcia o elementy programowania. Zauważyłem że w nas dorosłych drzemie także dziecko, a Scottie Go! pozwala nam zrealizować swoje marzenia o „super” zabawkach. Pomimo że Scottie jest grą i służy do zabawy, osobiście uważam to za kapitalne i rewolucyjne w swojej prostocie narzędzie do nauki programowanie. Narzędzie które łączy w sobie zabawę z nauką, pozwala każdemu dziecku osiągnąć sukces i uczy nie tylko myślenia i programowania ale także dzięki pracy w małych grupach kształtować i rozwijać kompetencje społeczne moich uczniów.

We met Scottie and his developers at the 2018 BETT Show in London, we were looking for a product that can teach coding for students of all ages in public education. The conception, the idea, the easiness of the game caught our attention as soon as we saw it. We thought that this was the game we take home to Hungary to help pupils and teachers discover the world of coding. And after the first couple of months playing with the game and watching others playing with it, we realized, that it is much more than a simple board game about programming. It is best when played in a group, it teaches other skills like communication, arguing, orientation, algorithmic and logical thinking, and so on. Not only useful in public education, but at home, and for a wider audience – the concept works with older students, too. And younger children, also – as we are lucky to have the Basic version, we can see how the younger generation copes with Scottie’s quests! And the most important thing: teachers are not afraid of using it, as it is so convenient for them to implement in classroom activities. By the way, the strength of the teacher community is amazing – big thanks to them to keep our children’s education alive!”

Edukační pomůcku ScottieGo! prodáváme v České republice od roku 2017. Naši klienti z řad základních a středních škol u pomůcky ScottieGO! oceňují především její atraktivitu pro děti již od 6 let. Sympatickému Scottiemu se každé dítě snaží pomoci a v zápalu hry si nestačí povšimnout, že se učí logickému myšlení, pravidlům kódování a základům programování. Pedagogická veřejnost u pomůcky pozitivně hodnotí úroveň zpracování materiálů pro učitele.

We have used Scottie GO! throughout our lower grades to create understanding of base coding. It is an excellent tool and grabs the attention of all learners! It has allowed for us to create a true 21st Century learning environment amongst learners from Grade R through to Grade 3, and has aided in creating the a solid foundation for coding, robotics and IoT.
