Award Winning Innovation
CodeStepper is a groundbreaking learning tool that minimizes screen time while teaching Python and AI through a fun, easy-to-build kit. Students begin by reading and stepping through each project program on the CodeStepper, then transition to typing and running the code on a computer. They finish by modifying and expanding the project program, learning the real-world workflow of modern software developers.
Empower Kids with Python Coding and AI!
CodeStepper offers an interactive experience that simulates "stepping" through actual code, allowing children to grasp coding concepts through reading comprehension and memory rather than prolonged screen exposure.
Multiple studies have shown that reading from printed materials leads to better retention and comprehension compared to screens.
CodeStepper doesn’t eliminate screen time, it minimizes it. Part of CodeStepper’s instruction method is to direct students to type in the provided sample programs into the online Python interpreters that are listed on CodeStepper’s instruction panel. CodeStepper even provides suggested modifications for each program which trains students in the real-world iteration cycle of programming.
With CodeStepper, most students are able to write short programs after completing the first four lesson sets.
Includes a complete Python Curriculum and AI Intro in Seven Lesson Sets
✅ Understanding Computers

Lesson sets are on durable laminated cards.
Easy-to-build kit—Clear Instructions Included
CodeStepper’s design is based on the Moore machine, a historic computational model that shows how computers move through states step by step. By building and using the device themselves, students reinforce core skills such as sequencing, state awareness, and cause-and-effect reasoning. The act of assembling CodeStepper instills pride of ownership, making students more eager to use it and confident in exploring programming concepts independently.
A Complete Solution For Teaching Young Coders Python and AI
CodeStepper’s seven interchangeable lesson sets offer a complete Python language curriculum. The included introduction to AI lesson set features a teachable expert system that students can run, modify and expand!
The convenient CodeStand is a sleek way to store your lesson sets, and the CodeStepper itself. CodeStepper can even be used while mounted on the CodeStand.
✅ Easy To Use - Just Slide The Lever
✅ Simulates 'Stepping' Through Code
✅ Project programs included
✅ Made from eco-friendly basswood
✅ All Lessons End With A Quiz
✅ Designed AND Made in the USA 🇺🇸
Hands-on Learning Before Screen Time
CodeStepper is the perfect solution for parents who want to limit screen time without letting their child fall behind in technology. It teaches real Python programming and core computer science concepts through hands-on, screen-free interaction, then encourages students to apply what they learn on a computer with confidence. In today’s AI-driven world, developing these foundational skills is more important than ever to help students understand, shape, and succeed with the technology around them.
CodeStepper is better than ever
Over the past year, we’ve made significant improvements to CodeStepper’s original design. This version boasts seven-line code stepping capability, a durable acrylic highlight bar, laminated lesson sets, and all major components are now securely screwed together, making it even more sturdy.
