This is a tactile coding kit that makes it possible to use touch and sound to freely experiment with variables. Content includes a set of "pods" with uniquely designed dials, plugs or buttons that each have a unique tactile signature. There's a carrying kit with 1 hub, 8 play pods, 3 pause pods, 2 loop pods, 1 selection pod and 1 merge pod -- plus a collection of plugs and storage materials. Developed by Microsoft and distributed by American Printing House for the Blind (APH), this educational toy bridges the skills gap and opens up the world of coding to every student. Code Jumper will be distributed in the US by APH, and internationally by HumanWare. Requires a Windows computer.
