Built for younger learners

Sequencing, Loops, and Simple Decisions

Junior is designed for lesson plans that focus on computational thinking fundamentals, without the complexity of a full coding environment.

Simplified Interface

A pared-back design so students can focus on learning concepts rather than navigating menus.

Tablet-First

Available on iPad and Android. Perfect for schools using tablets in the classroom.

Block-Based Coding

Drag-and-drop blocks to build programs. No typing required, making it accessible for early primary students.

Works with the Rover

Connect to a real Micromelon Rover and see programs come to life, the same rover students will use as they progress.
