My Take
Coding with younger students (pre-k through first) can be intimidating to teachers. Demonstrating the ease of use of this app with Dash the robot eliminated their fears. The Path app makes coding easy and fun, while Dash's actions take learning to the next level of excitement.
How I Use It
I used the Path program to demonstrate to teachers in my school how to use Dash the robot and Path the app to learn patterns. Using the Path app allows teachers and students to create a pattern, and Dash will act out the pattern making the experience SO much fun.

Takes My Kindergarten Class to the Next Level in Robotics
The Path app for Dash has been a great addition to my Kindergarten classroom. I love watching my students work together to problem solve! It enhances the skills they have learned with the Go app and is a great jumping point to get the students into the basic coding skills they learn in the Blockly app. The app is very easy to learn, but I will say it lacks in concrete directions. It is more of a trial by fire kind of thing; but in all honesty, we have probably learned more that way than we would have had we had a book full of step by step directions in front of us. I would highly recommend the addition of the Dash and Dot robots and their apps to any elementary classroom looking for ways to excite students in science.
