debug'd Coding Dash:

An inclusive coding curriculum for all students regardless of challenges -- cognitive, communication, physical and other complex learning needs -- for the Dash and Dot teaching robots (by Wonder Workshop).

With digital, printed and ready-to-print activities and instructional strategies, debug'd includes every student in meaningful participation through:

• explicit instruction,
• differentiated strategies,
• visual materials and
• real-world connections.

You can purchase the debug'd Curriculum kit only (no robots included) or include Dash.

Unfortunately, Dot has been discontinued by the manufacturer.  While Dot was a useful addition to our curriculum for a variety of reasons, the absence of having Dot robots is not consequential.  All activities designed around Dot, can be done using Dash!
