Cortex

The PCS Edventures Cortex is a drag-and-drop robotics programming environment that generates Arduino code for PCS Brain robotics kits or robot kits of your own design. Using the PCS Brain you can build robots that interact with their environment using sensors and move around using a variety of building systems including fischertechnik(r), LEGO(r), K'NEX, VEX, and others. You can even bolt it on to your R/C car and teach it to follow you like a dog!

The rich, game-like programming interface is a great tool for learning how to program in a friendly environment, provides tools for learning Arduino coding.
