So, I don’t know how many of you know about Reeborg, but I am going to talk about and maybe it will give you reason to use in the future.
If you are familiar with scratch, the platform developed by MIT then it would be easy to say that Reeborg coding is a step up from that although there are lots of limitations!
The Reeborg coding platform is real programming where you can program in Python, Java and a few others. The reason that it’s a step up from scratch is that it’s not drag-and-drop, you actually have to type out the code although there is a drag and drop function.
Reeborg is all about coding a robot to get it to do a certain task like pick up objects or close a window! On CS20.ca there is a modified Reeborg environment with challenges you can do although it’s not super modded.
The thing I found, being g familiar with Arduino is that Reeborg is really easy to get a hold of and relatively quick to program. It forces you to think outside the box in various situations as reeborgs functions are very limited, for example: it can only tur left!
Anyways, I really like it and would recommend using it if you have a feeling you want to try Python. It gives you a little boost on that path and makes the path to becoming great at Python so much easier, until next time, thanks for reading!
