AdaBots
AdaBots makes coding fun for children by letting them control robots in a Minecraft-like world, fostering creativity and computational thinking through play.
AdaBots is a captivating educational platform for children. It makes programming fun and accessible by offering a world that young learners can explore and shape through code. Using a simple API, an Ada program controls a robot inside a video game called Luanti (an open-source clone of Minecraft). This robot can move around, check surrounding blocks, and build and destroy blocks.
AdaBots draws a fascinating parallel to the iconic Logo Turtles of yesteryear. Just as the Logo Turtles introduced a generation to the joys of programming and computational thinking through simple, graphical commands, AdaBots is paving the way for today's children to engage with coding in a similarly intuitive and playful manner.
