Codie, the popular Hungarian invention

According to szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu, a young Hungarian man invented Codie, a robot that teaches computer coding to children. Ádám Lipécz is only 23 years old but Codie, his masterwork, is already becoming more and more famous all around the world.

What exactly is Codie? Codie is a robot created to help children learn the logic of coding while playing. It comes with a smartphone programming setting where users can put together their first instructions. Codie has similar sensors to smartphone sensors and thanks to the colourful app it is not only instructive but very entertaining as well.  It can be even used as a remote-controlled robot which is the most fun part. Codie teaches the basics of computer coding that improves the very beneficial analytic thinking.

Codie has been changing in the last three years because they wanted to develop a truly hard-wearing robot. The latest Codie is made of wood so that it is able to cope with falling on the ground. They also shrank its electronic system which makes the usage convenient. One of the most important developments was that the chain tracks became the most exterior element of the robot so that it doesn’t get stuck and it can also swing on an axis. “Codie looked like a tank for a while but it’s now looking much cuter. After all, it is a kids’ toy” said Ádám.

Szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu writes that Ádám studied at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics while teaching programming. He got the curriculum and he thought that it was definitely not the most exciting way of teaching. He realised that there was a gap because there was curriculum for those who wanted to learn coding and programming, but there wasn’t curriculum for those who only wanted to get to know the basics of it.
