TL;DR: Kickstart your child’s STEM career with Tangible toys and puzzles for $89.99, a 9% savings as of May 8.
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: coding is the must-have skill of the future. As technological innovations continue to move at lightning speed — and tech salaries continue to increase — we all wish we’d spent more time in STEM classes back in college.
Switching career paths might not be in your cards, but that doesn’t mean the kids in your life won’t benefit from learning to code. Heck, they might even like it.
Meet Tangiplay, a set of 12 robot toys that interact with a puzzle game you can download on your iPad. Instead of using their hands, kids slide or rotate their robots on the screen to translate movements into code. They will overcome obstacles, send passengers to the destination, and build new railways. Plus, because there are no right or wrong paths when it comes to writing code, kids are encouraged to find the best, most optimal way to solve the puzzles.
The game is designed for ages 4-12 and starts with an easy animation tutorial to help them get started. Tangiplay consists of more than 120 different puzzles with various themes and exciting backgrounds, and kids can even flex their creativity by mixing and matching the emoji faces on their robots.
