++ Software that makes coding easier for students and gives + flexibility to teachers. Switch between blocks, text, or both. +
+- {feature.description} + Drag and drop code blocks from categorised menus. Great for beginners learning programming concepts without syntax worries.
- - ))} ++ Write Python code directly with syntax highlighting, a built-in function dictionary, and a live console for debugging. +
++ See blocks and text side-by-side with real-time translation between them. Watch how blocks become Python code as you build. +
++ Watch the rover execute your code line by line. Both the block and text views highlight in real time so students can see exactly what their code is doing and debug issues quickly. +
+- The Micromelon Code Editor is designed to make teaching Digital - Technologies as easy as possible. +
+ Manage your entire class from a single dashboard. Control what students can see and do, share your screen, and monitor progress in real time.
- Privacy comes first - we don't require any personal - information on students. -
++ A live dashboard showing all sensor data from the rover in real time. See colour, IR, ultrasonic, and gyro readings as they change. +
++ Students can save and manage multiple projects. Pick up where you left off from any computer with the Code Editor installed. +
++ Advanced students can move beyond the Code Editor and control their rover from any Python environment, including VS Code and PyCharm, using the Micromelon Python library. +
++ Students can sign in with their school Microsoft or Google account, or teachers can create simple username-only accounts with no personal information required. +

++ The Simulator gives every student their own rover to experiment + with, no hardware required. Write code in the Micromelon Code + Editor and watch it run in real time on a virtual rover. +
+- {benefit.description} + An extensive range of unique and challenging exercises included. Computer-generated challenges create progressively harder tasks.
- - ))} ++ Pan, zoom, and rotate the 3D view to watch your rover from any angle. Follow your rover as it moves through an exercise. +
++ Drive the virtual rover manually with your keyboard. Great for exploring exercises and understanding the environment before writing code. +
++ The virtual rover has all the same sensors as the real one: colour, IR, ultrasonic, and gyroscope. Read sensor data and use it in your code. +
