Do you have children in your life who are interested in video games? The Code Lab mini by Let's Start Coding might be the perfect toy to capture their attention without any screen time! This motherboard is designed like a gaming controller and encourages children to explore the mechanics behind how gaming controllers work. This exploration makes the Code Lab mini an excellent way to bridge the gap between learning to code and how coding is used in video games. All you need is a laptop and a stable internet connection to get started. Children begin with the basics and progress through chapters that cover concepts like toggle and linear variables. By programming the various buttons, knobs, and speakers on the device children are able to watch the board come to life like a real gaming controller! -Reviewer Daisy Coble
