Easily the best coding primer for kids < 8 I've ever seen
First of all, I took a bit of a leap on this one because we had mixed results with another kit from the same company (the candy claw machine). It was VERY complex and it ended up my wife and I had to do the bulk of the construction. I worried this would be similarly challenging, bit it is PERFECT for younger kids (I'd say < 8 but even a 10 year old would probably have a blast). And once the physical construction is done that's where the real fun begins. The kit comes with two different types of cards that fit together like jigsaw pieces: programming cards and map cards. You use the former to "program" the bot and the latter to let it "execute" that program from its memory. It's worth mentioning I've had a number of false starts getting my kids (7 and 5) into the basics of coding. Typically the teaching tools I've found are either non-intuitive to a kid, or if they are the principles they impart are often non-transferable. If the lessons gleaned are entirely internal to the game or tool, what good is that? Within 20 minutes of beginning to lay out their programs, my kids were immediately learning highly transferable lessons about syntax, object orientation, debugging, trimming sequences to make them shorter without sacrificing functionality, etc. And all without the need for a complicated tablet app or any such thing. Everything you need comes with the kit. The construction feels hardy enough to withstand even the most brutish kids and the whole thing has the feel of a toy to them. Both of my kids are on Scratch almost every day (haven't quite made the leap to Python with my oldest), but I dare say this kit more efficiently taught them the most foundational and transferable principles of coding of any tool I've seen yet. Don't be scared of the price tag. Many dozens of lessons and experiments will keep the insights running for quite a while. This thing is worth every penny! My sense is if your kid is in Grade 4+, you can probably just skip straight to a real language. There will be struggles, but they may as well learn a real language at that point. The insights about syntax and debugging and such will just come from experience. But for younger kids this is the best tool I've ever seen for teaching the foundations of coding, bar none.

It’s a pain to find the right card
There are two types of cards: the programming cards and the course layout cards. I found it helpful to separate the programming cards into several ziplock bags by general function. The course layout cards are the big ones and have different things on each side. So when you are putting together a layout, you have to hunt through both sides of about 20 cards. That’s fine for the older kids but the little ones get distracted. My solution is to number each card with an A or B for the side. Then I went through every layout in the book and wrote the Card number/letter on the diagram. Now instead of having to shuffle through all the cards I just look for the number. We haven’t worn out the cards yet but we will. I wish the company made more robust cards using wood or plastic.

The kid had a great time
I hardly ever leave a review. This product made me leave one, though. We bought this product 2 years ago. At that time, my kid was 7 years old. He tried constructing the plastic pieces, code and map cards. Even with my help, he could not understand the 'code' card concepts. I let the toy sit for a year. Now during this summer (2022) holidays, I helped him kickstart the first project. He immediately latched on to it, built all the projects in the manual. He finished all the projects in under a month. He loved the coding concepts like - If condition, loops, sub-routines etc. This is an amazing toy for a kid approximately 8 yrs. old, may be even younger. One con with the product is that the 'code cards' (Item no 53) do *not* fit into the 'code card frames' (Item no 54) properly. As a result, code cards falls through the frames. Sometimes the 'Robotic base unit' (Item no 44) fails to scan the code cards. Other than the minor flaw, this is an amazing product.

Wonderful product - has many parts!
We bought this for our kindergarten and preschool children with the idea that the coding routines will advance as they grow. The first thing I noticed is that there were a LOT of parts - there are many (100+) robot building blocks and gears, 108 code cards, and 29 larger code/map cards. My first critique is that the packaging did not include help with content organization; so I took a variety of zip-lock plastic bags and organized the contents into each bag (ex: white blocks, blue blocks, moving code cards, light-up code cards, etc.). This also helped when we tried to find a specific coding card or building part. I highly recommend some type of organization as you unpack the contents! My second critique is that my girls are not yet strong enough to physically push the pieces together for a tight fit - I will have to help them with the assembly until they are strong enough. Otherwise this is a great product! After the first lesson my girls wanted us to make it talk (say "hi"), blink lights, turn around, and go beyond the simple Lesson 1 routine. My kindergartner is mastering the basic movement coding cards and the younger girls like playing with the colorful characters we built!

The design of Kids First Coding and Robotics is great but, not durable. Support is poor.
The design of Kids First Coding and Robotics is great. We are using it in school and the children love to learn coding. However, after about 5 months of once a week use the robot base failed to read code. So, at the start of the winter session we had no robot to continue with. I filled out multiple forms and made phone calls but no solution. While they are pleasant to take information, they do not solve problems.

Almost perfect coding for young children
Bought as a present for my young son. This is a really good fun introduction to coding and robotics. To make it work you use cards to 'code' the robot. Place them in a card 'track' and the robot reads them, then you place the robot on the grid-map, built like a jigsaw of large card squares. The robot calibrates itself before heading off, and continually calibrates itself on the squares, so there's no veering off course. There are bricks which you use to build different robot characters and its friends. The instructions are also a storybook which keeps children engaged. I downloaded the instructions from the manufacturers website before buying. Batteries last well. Positives: Cards make coding very easy and visual. Different robot designs keep things interesting and fun. The different sounds, movements and lights are cute and fun. The robot continuously checks and stays on course, so this is fine for playing on a table. Really good instructions. Negatives: The cards are too thin. They become disconnected too easily on anything but a hard surface.

There is bug otherwise 5 stars
This is a excellent coding set to teach young kids. My 5 yrs old is learning basic logic at the same time enjoying the story and building the characters. Then somehow we notice a weird bug on lesson 11. I am senior developer myself, so try to debug. On that lesson, if you follow the solution in the book, everything works fine. But if you change the left to right in the function, mouse would only turn once instead of 4 times. Using a loop doesn't help too. This is also happening on the main code. Try [start] [left] [4], it only turn one time. I found it little frustrated, but it is a good opportunity to teach her how to debug. Is it a known issue? Is it possible to fix it through a firmware update?

Coding concepts without adding to screen time!
Great way to introduce coding concepts to young kids. Many models and tracks to make, woth detailed instructions and guide book to help your little one explore the power of programming. Within minutes my 5yr old was learning how to fix bugs in his programs and even creating his own unique ones. We picked this toy as we wanted him to learn in a more hands on way, rather than pushing buttons on a controller/ipad. This pack also seemed the most comprehensive in its scope e.g. directional movements, lights/sounds, mechanical interactions, for loops, logic statements. The only negative point is that the grey track used to hold the coding cards is paper thin and very flimsy, in contrast to the good build quality of the rest of the set.

Excelente kit
Se los compre a mis hijos para que aprendieran las bases de la programación de robots y están encantados, ya que ahora comprenden como se debe programar un robot desde cero, han hecho desafíos muy interesantes. Se la pasa un buen rato del día entretenidos con este kit de codificación de robots y yo pues me dedico a hacer mis cosas con la seguridad de que están en su cuarto jugando, pensando y utilizando su tiempo en algo creativo e ingenioso que les va a servir en un futuro cercano. Lo que mas les gusto y a mi también, es que no necesitas de una computadora, ni de una tablet ni de un celular para poder programarlo.
