The LightUp Learning app teaches coding with a microcontroller block, which can be wirelessly programmed over Bluetooth 4.0. Projects include a burglar alarm, musical instrument; the kit includes LightUp blocks, a rechargeable battery, bluetooth microcontroller, a speaker, a light sensor, momentary switch, a 5k resistor, wire blocks (7) and a micro USB cable. The app includes introductory projects to get started. The app is called the Lightup Lens.
