BricksIDE: PicoBricks IDE provides a versatile coding platform suitable for users of all skill levels. It caters to beginners with PicoJr, offers a block-based coding environment with PicoBlockly for intermediate learners, and allows advanced users to work with text-based programming using PicoPy. This versatility ensures that students can progress at their own pace, starting with the basics and gradually advancing to more complex coding concepts. PicoSimulator is an invaluable addition to the PicoBricks IDE, serving as a powerful educational tool. This feature opens up a world of possibilities for users, enabling them to immerse themselves in the realm of robotics and coding without the necessity of physical hardware.

E-book: The e-book provided with the product guides you in building your own Ferris wheel. All construction stages and necessary codes are shared with you step by step in the e-book.
