Developed to achieve the objectives from the computing national curriculum, students can work independently, in pairs or in groups to get EaRL to where each step of the challenges asks
Once the correct grid number is written in the app, the challenge will show the AR or move on to the next step
EaRL (not included) provides a hands‐on coding and programming experience for students, allowing them to apply these computing concepts practically and engagingly
