My Take
Overall this is a great product and addition to the coding for kids sites that are being create and released. I like that it uses more than just drag and drop programming for the students, showing them that spelling and syntax matter in coding just like in writing.
How I Use It
I used the free levels with my students in 2nd and 3rd grade. I modeled the first few levels on the SmartBoard and then they moved to their computers and worked either independently or in paired programming.

This looks like a great way to engage kids of all ages in learning to code. The gaming format keeps them interested and wanting to continue this after class time is over.
This is a great learning tool for students interested in coding or wanting to see if the coding field is something that would interest them. It gives them the basic tools and can allow them go deeper if they wish to do so.
