Product Information

When we first got our Osmo, the base and add-ons all came in this beautiful, handy boxes that were magnetic so they stayed together beautifully. I don’t think that’s true anymore, though it looks like the base kit comes with some small storage containers. If you’re having a hard time keeping it all organized, Osmo now has a separate storage organizer. Should you get the Osmo? And we haven’t personally tried this, but they now even have full learning kits by grade level. If we end up trying one of these out, I’ll make sure I update this post with our review. Players must first break down the route Awbie needs to take through decomposition, then use algorithms and sequences to tell him where to go. Final Thoughts on Coding Awbie It is aimed at children aged between 5 and 12 years old, and can only be played on an Ipad or iPhone.

Help two lovable characters Awbie and Mo to overcome brain-stretching challenges through code! Learn collaboration and teamwork, computational thinking, and more. Why is Coding Important for Kids?As Awbie collects berries, finds his pets, and earns plants for his garden, kids will find that the levels increase in difficulty. Awbie will be asked to jump over water, skip over lily-pads, and go up or down steps. Osmo’s Coding Awbie helps kiddos learn and reinforce so much more than just coding skills. They work on map-reading, collaborating, problem-solving, and even basics like counting and directions.

Access to the other apps that don’t require extra pieces – like the Drawing app and the Newton app. My kids have slowly collected add-ons over the years (they make GREAT gifts!). One of my sons really enjoyed the Detective Agency game (like a super fun, interactive Where’s Waldo). They also have several levels of math add-ons that are super high-quality, and fun. These work great for helping reinforce math concepts, but not necessarily teach them. What We Didn’t Love: Teaching kids how to code is so important and Osmo Coding with Awbie is a great introduction for kids.

I am always keeping an eye out for the latest and greatest coding games and best coding apps for kids. Some of you may remember the review I did a while ago on Osmo’s Coding Jam. Well, Osmo has other coding activities out there, like Osmo Coding Awbie, and it is just as wonderful and educational. What is Coding Awbie? I was really impressed with how well-made and durable all the Osmo parts are. While we teach our boys to treat what we own carefully, I love when something is durable and feels like it will actually hold up to normal wear and tear. Update: 6 years later, and it’s still going strong! This is one of the main reasons I feel like coding needs to be introduced to children at such a young age. They are not just learning about coding, they are learning about a whole slew of other accessory concepts while playing a game that is engaging, fun, and educational. Osmo’s Coding Awbie uses several of the Basic Coding Concepts that are useful for children of any age.

Did you know that creating a routine for your child is like familiarizing your child with the concept of algorithms? It’s true! As you know, every algorithm consists of specific steps that result in a positive or negative outcome. Similarly, if you always follow a specific routine, it’s always going to result in the same outcome. Osmo teaches logic skills and problem-solving. It also helps kids succeed in an increasingly digital world.

Coding Awbie provides a wonderful introduction to coding skills and concepts for even the youngest child. If you are not familiar with Osmo, you are missing out! This hands-on, tangible play system takes a screen and turns it into an interactive experience. The best coding games for kids are those that blend learning and fun! In this delicious learning game, you are the robot and your child is the programmer. They would need to design algorithms and provide you with the steps to make an easy meal! Remember, one wrong instruction and they need to debug the entire process! Decomposition is one piece of the puzzle that can be tough for younger players. Looking at where Awbie is, where you want him to go, and how he has to move to get there is a very complex set of skills. This is problem-solving at its finest. The kid’s coding language used is Awbie. Where you can jump, walk, repeat, hand, and play so it is a super easy starting position. Some examples of daily routines include getting ready for school, or building a bedtime routine.• Cooking & Coding – A Delicious Way to Learn

If you have bought an item from us that proves to be faulty, please let us know as soon as the fault becomes apparent so we are able to help. Coding Awbie uses a levels-based game to teach kids how to make use of Algorithms, Sequences, and Decomposition.Algorithms are seen throughout the game. Game-players are asked to give Awbie instructions and directions to help him get through his environment. Each time the player pushes the “Play” button, they are “Programming” different algorithms for Awbie to complete. But because of the way the stand and the camera attachment works, the Osmo only works when the ipad is out of a case. We always keep my husband’s ipad in an Otterbox case to keep it safe. It has protected it from many, many drops over the years. So it makes me a little nervous to have the boys playing with the ipad without the case on.
