Coding Lessons for Kids Using BBC Microbit Robot Car

I've finally selected the platform that I will use in introducing Vito to programming.  We got this programmable car MAQUEEN from DFROBOT.  My reasons for selecting this toy are: simple to assemble, no operating system setup needed, web based visual programming editor, and abundance of peripherals that can be programmed such as: motors, LED lights, RGB lights, LED matrix display, distance sensor, temperature sensor, push buttons, infrared sensor, speaker, and so on.

Vito is still very young at this stage, 6 years old, to learn programming but with my supervision and thru play I hope to introduce him to the exciting things that can be done with programming.
