Inspire preschoolers to explore early coding and critical 21st century skills through creative and collaborative play! Coding Express is a creative, intuitive, and versatile solution that introduces preschoolers to early coding concepts that naturally spark their curiosity, creativity, and desire to explore and learn together. Based on the ever-popular train theme, the highly versatile LEGO DUPLO solution allows children to make connections and intuitively explore early coding concepts, such as sequencing, looping, and conditional coding, while developing problem-solving skills, critical thinking, collaboration, and social and emotional skills. The child-led free optional app provides four areas for preschoolers to explore: journeys, characters, music, and math. The different themed activities change the way the action bricks behave, altering the effect on the train. The activities are open-ended, and preschoolers will practice a variety of skills relevant for early childhood development.
