Osmo Coding Awbie Game - Review
We tested Coding Awbie Game back in November 2018 and thought we would split the combined review it was featured in and make it one single review. The Coding Awbie Game comes with coding blocks which lets you take a cute Awbie friend on walks, jumps and lets him eat strawberries and build a world in a magical world.
Coding Awbie is an excellent game to help kids understand the concept of coding. As technology evolves everyday, experts say that by the time our children finish school, they will be exposed to technologies that don’t even exist currently. This is why the sudden push towards encouraging children towards STEAM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths). Girls especially are encouraged to participate in STEAM fields as they are outnumbered by boys. A great example is little Miss’ coding class she attended in at Kindy where she was the only girl in her class. When I completed my degree in IT, we were only 3 girls in our degree and by honours year I was the only girl in that year. I was hoping things would change in 12 years but we still need to help girls take part in those fields.
Coding Awbie Game comes with easy to use coding blocks which represent coding sequences like walk straight away for 5 steps (as shown below) and a play button to execute the sequence. The kit also comes with various other sequences like run, jump and other special sequences/commands which all ‘magnet click’ together by the use of magnets and swivel buttons. Help from the app is provided at the start and phase out to let children make their own decisions.

Little Miss loved the Osmo Coding Awbie Game and so did her brother even though he is 4 he still has a go and loves this game. We featured a video of little Miss using the Coding Awbie Game on Instragram which is lots of fun which can be viewed here.
