You can download PictoBlox from HERE.

PictoBlox is based on the latest version of Scratch. Therefore, the basic functionality is the same; however, it also has artificial intelligence and machine learning tools and hardware interaction capabilities integrated into its graphical coding interface. You can easily work with development boards like evive, the Arduino Uno, Mega, Nano, and ESP32, control your projects with hardware in real-time, upload code to your robots, and do a lot of other things!

If you’re a principal, an educator, or run an activity center or a STEM/STEAM education business, then Codeavour 2022 is the perfect opportunity to introduce your students to AI and coding and encourage them to develop the skills of the future.
