New to coding? We have you covered

No matter your family’s experience with coding or robotics, the Root® rt0 coding robot makes learning to program easy and advances with you as your skills progress.

iRobot® Coding platform

Use your device's Bluetooth® technology to pair your Root® rt0 with the iRobot® Coding platform and watch your code come to life.

Designed to advance with you as your skills progress, the Root® rt0 is a coding companion that's easy for beginners but still challenging enough to keep experienced coders engaged. Featuring 3 Learning Levels for any ability, you can start where you're comfortable and keep building from there.

Level 1: Graphical Blocks

Learning Level 1 uses drag-and-drop, graphical blocks to teach the fundamental logic skills of coding. No reading skills required!

Learning Level 2: Hybrid Blocks

Learning Level 2 builds computational fluency with hybrid blocks that feature a mixture of graphics and coding script.

Leaning Level 3: Full text Blocks

Learning Level 3 uses full-text code to teach the structure and syntax of professional coding languages, including the powerful Swift.

When it's time to progress, use the iRobot® Coding's auto-level converter to instantly translate your programs across all 3 Learning Levels so you can continue learning.
