as an educational tool for programming and supports two programming languages, Blockly block based

programming and Python text based coding.

With the optional Magnetic Kai-Tiles

1. visit Kainundrum.com and pair your KaiBot

2. use the Kainundrum Game Builder to design your tile layout,

3. Create your unique virtual tile layout and ensure that you have the same matching number

sequence as your physical tiles.

Once you start you're Kainundrum game, you’ll be asked to confirm that your physical tiles match the

virtual tiles. If they don’t go back to the Game Builder and amend them.

In the waiting room, you only have a virtual robot. But once your KaiBot is in the game it is then paired

with the physical KaiBot and both the virtual and physical tiles are mirrored.

Do I need KaiTiles?

In order for you to see your physical KaiBot mirrored in Kainundrum, you’ll need Kai-Tiles. KaiBot reads

his position on the KaiTiles and then his position is mirrored in Kainundrum.

Although you can use KaiBot just on the floor or table without KaiTiles you won't be able to pair your robot

with Kainundrum. KaiTiles come in packs of 10 tiles, with each having its own unique numbers.

So if you want to buy 60 KaiTiles you will get numbers 1-60. You can build a simple square to code

(remember you can use a loop sequence) or why not build a maze that gets 30 KaiBots ready to race to

the finish line. The more tiles you have the more fun and Maze mayhem you’ll have with KaiBots.

Get creative and add some walls and build some lasers with red wool and add a few Lego gates. Now try

your hand at coding your way around using the screen-free coding cards or jump on Kainundrum and

copy your maze creation in the virtual world. You may want to start in the virtual world, Kainundrum and
