Mochi teaches coding without a screen!

Hi ,

We hope you have been enjoying the book we sent you a few days ago about computer science and teaching kids coding. As we mentioned last time, computer science is the language of the future. Everything from your phone to your doorbell uses or will use code to make it run. And we believe that giving kids an early start into the abstract and sometimes nonintuitive world of computer science is the best way to give them a foundation for understanding the world around them. To inspire them to become the inventors of tomorrow. 

Yet when thinking about the best way to engage kids at an early age we realized that the most important thing for them to learn is the abstract ideas in computer science rather then a specific type of coding. And because of this, we designed the simplest product that would allow kids to program the movements and sounds of Rover using colorful, wooden coding blocks. As simple as LEGO.

There would be no screens involved with Mochi because we believe that screens get in the way of understanding the core ideas. They are simply too distracting and often confound different levels of abstraction to confuse rather than clarify. And yet, despite the simplicity, you can program more unique algorithms with Mochi than there are stars in the universe. Low barrier to entry, but a high ceiling before you get to mastery. We believe it is the perfect learning experience for the budding inventor.

Look out for my next email where I’ll tell you more about the thousands of hours of research and testing that we put in to develop a complete programming language using 15 wooden blocks!
