You might have seen my article recently containing a review of Botley the Coding Robot. If not you can read it here. Read on for details about how to win your very own Botley.
BOTLEY® 2.0 ACTIVITY SET
A while back we were sent a Botley® 2.0 Activity Set – the next generation of coding robot from Learning Resources to try out with the children. This robot is designed to offer an introduction to coding to children (and their parents if they don’t code themselves).
A PARENT’S PERSPECTIVE
From my point of view coding is and has always been a foreign language. Helping the boys set up Botley and play with him has helped simplify things hugely for me. In particular using the secret codes.
In short, this toy is a great introduction to coding.
Learning Resources have a brilliant selection of coding toys as well as some fun screen-free coding activities you can do here and here. Visit Learning Resources for more information: www.learningresources.co.uk

not a clue about coding, would be great to learn alongside the children
I did a course on computer programming many years ago. My grandson though is active in learning to code.
No, none at all! I would be learning too.
I don’t have a clue but it would be good father and son time
yes, I do, but my kids know more!
Nope not a clue lol
Not at all- would be great to learn along with the children.
I don’t have any real knowledge, I am trying to learn though as it definitely seems to be a skill worth learning.
I have no idea about coding at all, i am waiting for my little Grandson to teach me!
Basic knowledge but love learning
My knowledge reaches as far as knowing its to do with computer science ?
I used to do a lot of web design but not for a long time
Only a little bit from a while ago!
No but my husband codes and in IT
My husband is a coder he loves to teach our kids so would enjoy this, especially with our youngest
I’d love my daughter to learn all about coding, starting with this fab robot!
Absolutely none. We all perhaps need to start somewhere, somehow. Meanwhile we want to support the youngsters in any way we can. This prize would help, as it would be gifted.
I don’t but my husband is a computer programmer. The kids know more than me!
I have absolutely no knowledge of coding
I have no experience of coding but it is needed by young people.
I have a tiny bit, as I tried teaching myself HTML years ago
I once knew the basics and would love to relearn along with my twin girls
I know the basics but that is not a lot
I have basic knowledge of coding
A little bit, my son is starting to show an interest now.
Not very much but my kids have done a little bit and are interested in learning more.. My son learnt a little bit at the library before the pandemic.
I have no knowledge of coding so could do with learning along with my son
I did have a small amount but think I have forgotten that now!

No, I don’t. I hope one day my kids will be better at it than me.
I know a little but I’d love to get started with my children. My 10 year old is really interested.

a little from about 45 years ago but I’m happy to learn with my grandson
I’ve been teaching my son the very basics of coding.

I used to know basic and css pretty well but havent used either for a long time
