Code a Robot with Cue

Cue is a robot with a personality and two ways to program it. Start in Blockly, move to state machines, then write real JavaScript, all driving the same robot across the same floor. The clearest bridge we have from block coding to a real programming language.

The course journey

What your child will explore

Follow the course from the first idea to the finished project.

    Meet Cue: drive, sense and chat

    Say hello to Cue: drive it around, test its sensors and find out what this robot can do.

  2. Chapter 02

    Blockly basics: sequences and loops

    Line up your first Blockly blocks and use loops to make Cue repeat moves without repeating yourself.

  3. Chapter 03

    Sensors and reactions
