What is uCode?

uCode is a free web programming environment that takes machine learning to the next level. Students of all levels can program using block-based coding along with dual text-based programming. uCode allows students to go above and beyond programming a physical uKit robot with digital game and animation creation, utilizing real-time AI blocks and controlling virtual robots in a 3D environment.
