Community Review for Cargo-Bot
My Take
This app is a great visual tool to PEA-NUH students who,are learning about programming languages. The tutorials are helpful, but there is little support within the actual game. I would have preferred more helpful hints to encourage students who get stuck on difficult challenges.
How I Use It
I use this app to show students how strict and logical,programming languages can be. Students quickly see that incomplete instructions lead to mistakes. Motivated students like this game, but students who are ill-equipped to handle failure often find this app frustrating.
