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!
