Kids interact with Play-i’s robots, Yana and Bo, by giving them instructions. This can be through a tablet or smartphone, where they can drag and drop a sequence of commands. “As they do this, we can begin to introduce some other basic elements of coding, like the concept of loops, or an ‘if this than that’ instruction,” says Gupta. Bo, which can play music on a xylophone, also responds to physical commands. “You can move him, and he will remember that motion, store it as a command, and allow you to play it back or insert it into a sequence.”
