Osmo - Coding Jam Educational Game (iPad Base Required)

I love the Osmo games as they work with the iPads my kids already have, and I only have to buy it once, not one per kid or device. This game helps learn basic coding fundamentals and gets the mind on the right track, and these pieces also work with the other coding games Osmo has available.

I thought that my grand kids would like this since we have Osmo Monster which they all love. I was wrong. The oldest (9 years old) likes to spend about 10 minutes with this before calling it quits! They see it as a musical game and don't see it as a coding lesson AT ALL!

My son loves this addition to his Osmo collection. He is already drawn to music and this just takes it to the next level. It is easy to use and understand and we have never had a problem with the program reading the tiles. Best part for me is he sends me what he creates while I'm at work.

This kit works with select Apple iPads with operable front facing camera. There are many gaming and puzzle pieces that come with small coordinating Tupperware cases. Hours can be spent exploring the many codes and games. Introduces the user to community platform sharing.

It's okay and my kid played with it awhile. But it's not as educational (in terms of coding) nor as fun as I thought it would be. It's more of a music app than a coding educational app.

I had high hopes that this was going to be a fun coding game; however, it failed to keep the attention of both a 8 and 9 year old. Maybe this would be better for younger children.

I couldn't really give a solid review of the product because I have never actually used it. I purchased it was a gift, but from what I have seen from the video, it is a very amusing way to use their creativity.

This is a great educational game that goes with the Osmo base and works with your iPad. My nephew has the system and other games and this one is just as awesome as the others.
