What ensures a great education? One-answer: access to the languages of the future. At the top of this list is computer programming. A company on the cutting edge of this lifelong skill is EduKits, makers of Code Kit, a beginner-friendly Arduino tool, which originally launched in 2020.
EduKits’ story began with the dream of a Year 8 high school student, Michael Nixon, who wanted to share his passion for technology with kids and teens around the world. Today, the company’s products have reached customers in over 100 countries, and they continue to inspire young minds through workshops, resources, and innovative coding kits.
Code Kit has been built to solve a problem that many coding educators face: how to capture the attention of students who are too busy playing on their phones to get excited about writing computer code. The app’s simple, block-based interface allows students to build projects using a drag-and-drop editor, where blocks can be arranged to form code sequences representing standard programming instructions. These sequences instantly generate real Arduino C++ code, giving students a direct connection between visual blocks and actual programming.
Building on the app’s popularity, EduKits created Pro and Classroom plans that unlock even more powerful features. With offline access and direct upload to Arduino boards, teachers can run lessons anywhere—no internet connection required. The desktop app (available with Pro and Classroom plans) takes things even further by letting users compile and upload projects straight to their boards without needing a separate IDE. It’s a complete coding solution that keeps students focused and engaged, with comprehensive documentation to help everyone get started with coding and electronics.
To make the program even more accessible, EduKits has introduced multi-language support, allowing users to switch between 15 different languages. This new feature aims to break down language barriers and make coding education more accessible to learners from diverse backgrounds. The 15 languages are:
- English (United States)
- English (Australia)
- Español
- Français
- Português
- Deutsch
- Italiano
- 中文 (Simplified Chinese)
- 中文繁體 (Traditional Chinese)
- 한국어 (Korean)
- 日本語 (Japanese)
- Русский (Russian)
- Türkçe (Turkish)
- العربية (Arabic)
- हिन्दी (Hindi)
The introduction of multi-language support in Code Kit is a significant step towards creating a more inclusive and diverse environment for young programmers and inventors. It allows more children and teens around the world to learn and experiment with coding and electronics, regardless of their native language.
EduKits is committed to continuously improving its products and services to better serve its customers and inspire the next generation of innovators. Regular updates to Code Kit include feature enhancements, support for a wider range of Arduino boards, and simplified sharing options for projects. With multi-language support and continuous improvements, Code Kit is set to become an even more powerful tool for coding education worldwide.
