Coding without the screen
- Cubetto turns coding into a tangible, age-appropriate experience that reduces screen-time, increases engagement, and enhances learning.
Inclusive & gender neutral
- Coding with Cubetto happens with hands-on coding blocks, which means children can use it irrespective of reading ability or language barriers.
