Press
Don't just take our word for it, read what some members of the press have to say about Let's Start Coding!
Drew: “Man, do I wish that I had something like this when I was 10 years old… My kids have it so lucky because with the Let’s Start Coding app they can learn the basic functions and concepts of coding and see the results of their learning immediately on the Code Car. “
Lauren: “[My son] was able to follow the directions by himself for the Code Car. He liked all of the flashing lights and beeping noises he was able to code for the two-dimensional car. It would make a fun gift for the kid in your life who is interested in technology and/or STEAM.”
Eileen: “[My son] enjoyed modifying the pre-written code to experience different types of sounds and lights. He was also able to learn much more at his own pace without getting distracted. He is definitely inspired by the kits to write his own coding in the near future. These hands-on projects have given him the confidence to try more programming.”
Jhie: “Warning! Code Car & Code Piano kits are NOT TOYS! Each kit is a gateway to a different world using a totally different language that the majority of us don’t know, disguised as an uncomplicated car or piano configuration!”
Jhie’s 9yr old: “It’s a fun way of learning how to code for kids. It feels like I’m super smart when I’m doing it because I’m doing something my mom does!”
Mary: “Speaking as a mom, I have probably learned more about coding language from this particular line of products than any others we’ve tried.... these are awesome electronic toys and kits and I love how they help kids around ages manipulate real, typed computer code (not just blocks). We also like the software and videos that go with it.”
Lori: “You know your kid is enjoying himself when he is diligently working on something and then you hear him say ‘Yes! He was excited when after working through a project he finally got it to work.”
Tracy: “Let's Start Coding has been a big success for us. It's a perfect intermediate step between beginner boards like the BBC micro:bit and an Arduino plus breadboard set up.”
Beth: “My thirteen year old has always gravitated towards electronics. When I had the chance to get him a kit from Let’s Start Coding, I jumped on it and I am SO glad I did!”
Monica: “[My kid] loves coding and I love to see how much he enjoys it! That’s why when I heard that Let’s Start Coding — a website that provides nifty little kits to help kids learn to code — launched a bigger, better and more comprehensive electronics kit that helps teach kids how to code using the C++ computer language, I knew we had to check it out!”

“The interface on the website is great. There are short videos explaining the lesson, plus a checklist of the tasks to try for that project. It is easy for kids to do independently or with little support. The projects include BOTH hardware and software skills. This is one of the things I absolutely love about Let’s Start Coding.”
