Kodable helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Organization

Arranging and coordinating materials in order to complete a task.

In order to complete any of the levels, on any of the worlds, the user needs to be able to organize their thoughts. If they can’t decide what order things need done in, the best path to use, and then keep these thoughts in order so that the code is executed properly. The user also has to be able to organize things—fuzz in Bug World and asteroids in Asteroidia—in order to place the items in the best location to win the level and earn stars.

Planning

Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals.

As with any coding, this app requires the user to use their planning skills. Every level has limits set on it. Some levels are a limited number of moves, some have a set speed the player can earn money. In either instance, if the player doesn’t have a plan, they won’t be able to complete the level and get their stars. To create their plan, they will use problem solving skills and short-term planning.
