An Introduction to Dash The Educational Robot for 6-12 year olds and beyond accessible Via Swift Playgrounds

In this demo, I discuss how you can use Dash to learn coding via Swift Playgrounds using the developer Playgrounds (Wonder Workshop), in particular Dash Template and Dash Book.

I then give you a run through of how Dash is put together, and how you turn him on.

Note - none of the Wonder Workshop apps are accessible so if you are a VoiceOver user and you want to learn how to code or teach your children how to code with VoiceOver support, then it will be the iPad, Swift Playgrounds, and the free Playgrounds mentioned above.
