======Code-A-Pillar======
{{:digital_literacy:technology_resources:codeapillar:codeapillar.jpg?nolink |}}Code-a-pillar encourages young people to arrange its movement segments in different combinations to guide Code-a-pillar along a path. It encourages experimentation while developing important skills like problem solving, planning & sequencing and critical thinking.

Connect the segments to the motorised head and press the go button to direct the Code-a-pillar.  Each segment has a different coded action (forward, left, right, sound), and Code-a-pillar lights up each segment as the action is being run.
