This self-paced online visual programming course for beginners tells a story about the friendship of a little girl and a robot. It is being taught at K-12 schools, programming clubs, after-school programs, and in home-schooling families. The teacher or homeschooling parent do not have to know computer programming. Students progress at their own pace with the help of hints, video tutorials, and a textbook (preview PDF). Gamification and gently increasing complexity of projects ensure an exciting and fulfilling learning experience for all students. The course includes an optional algorithmic thinking pre- and post-test.
