What Are Splats?
Splats are interactive floor buttons that students use to play active, standards-aligned games! With a simple Bluetooth connection to your device (laptop or tablet), they light up, track points, run timers, and trigger sounds. Students load or code activities in the app—and then the off-screen fun begins!
Calling All Coders!
This program is not "Hard Coded". Our block coding activities are accessible to all skill levels. No prior experience needed. The Run Jump Code program provides movement-based computer science activities centered around collaborative, peer-based learning, allowing kids to learn to code through what they do best – playing!
