We at Seeed are honoured to partner with Microsoft and
APH to get this product fully developed, manufactured and provided to the hands of those in need. We are really proud to have this chance to be part of such an amazing project.
Code Jumper is a unique system that assists children, regardless of their level of vision, in learning computer coding and programming skills. Originally designed by Microsoft ® and developed by APH, this educational toy bridges the skills gap for children who are blind or have low vision, opening up the world of coding to every student. Not only can they learn basic programming concepts, such as sequence, iteration, selection, and variables etc., children are also encouraged to think computationally and develop problem-solving skills, such as solving the same challenge in various ways. We hope that APH can bring Code Jumper to even wider scales in the future, giving kids around the world access to computer programming educational curriculum.

Back in June 2017, when Code Jumper was under design by Microsoft, our team has participated as engineering support for the early stage product design including product testing, quality check, material optimization etc. With the project shifted to APH , we continue working on the project as the manufacturing partner to obtain relevant engineering certifications including BQB, CE, FCC, IC, RCM, RoHS, REACH, and produce 2 batches of 1000 units delivered so far.
“SEEED has played a giant role in getting this product fully developed & manufactured. We have all been through a lot with this project. With all of the problems we have faced & all that we have overcome to bring this product to market, we have built a good deal of trust & respect between our 2 teams. I wanted you all to know that the quality of your work has been recognized not only by people here at APH but also by people outside of APH. Thank you for partnering with us on the Code Jumper project. ”
