MESH uses visual coding to program real world objects and gadgets.

We believe that the right tool can make a huge difference in learning. MESH is designed to make it easy and fun for any student to discover STEAM skills and technology. Every step of the way we give students the support to imagine, experiment, and build gadgets without any special skills using our MESH blocks, app, and online project guides.

While following their creativity, students can program gadgets in the MESH visual coding app and use MESH blocks to add functionality to the gadgets they've invented. Students can create anything from a “fitness” tracking headband to an interactive candle and along the way learn about computational thinking, electronics, internet technology, and design.
