SuaCode.ai provides a smartphone based coding program and an AI teaching assistant, Kwame:
In 2017, while running the 4th edition of our annual innovation bootcamp, Project iSWEST, in Ghana, we noticed from our pre-survey that out of our 27 students, 25% had laptops, yet 100% had smartphones. This situation led us to modify our coding course and deliver it using smartphones, a first of its kind in Ghana. Our students built pong games on their phones with several students working on coding assignments while in traffic.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
