Which app/platform do I use with my kit and how do I access it?

If you're working with tablets, you will go to the app store and search for the SAM Studio app. The SAM Studio app houses our coding platforms, content, and other features. If you're working on laptops, Chromebooks, or desktops, you will use the web-based version of SAM Studio which can be accessed here.

STEAM Classroom Kits:

The STEAM course uses the SAM Space coding platform, a flow-based coding platform which focuses on visual representations of algorithms. To create a new SAM Space project, go to the 'Projects' tab, click 'Create New' and then select 'SAM Space'. 

Learn to Code Kits:

The Learn to Code course uses SAM Blockly; a block-based coding, a drag-and-drop coding language represented by blocks. To create a new SAM Space project, go to the 'Projects' tab, click 'Create New' and then select 'SAM Blockly'.

Maker Kits:

Maker Kits can use both SAM Space and SAM Blockly.
