So...

  • It requires a separate computer to load code?
  • It has 25 small leds to display messages... one letter at a time via a ---smurfy--- display system?
  • Randomly includes bluetooth and two small buttons?
  • It has some funky looking bolt style terminals instead of pin terminals?

I just don't get it. You want to teach kids how to code? Have their school purchase a bunch of rasberry pi's. They can actually program the device using the same device.

Maybe its more of a micro controller learning tool?
Idk they already have the RPI and even the cheapest one easily allows for an LCD display hookup to the gpio pins.
