Makeblock Halocode is a single board computer with a built-in Wi-Fi. Designed explicitly for educational purpose, Halocode works perfectly with block-based programming software mBlock. Participants will discover how easily students can drag and drop the command blocks to code, making programming as intuitive and straightforward as playing building blocks.
