The 3D printed Ballyland© Code sets are specifically designed to support the development of computational thinking and coding with Ballyland© Code 1: Say Hello, Ballyland Code 2: Give Rotor, and Ballyland Code 3: Pick Up.
The tactile game grid will enable a learner to better analyze, process, and check the steps/commands that are required to complete the coding challenge in the digital grid on the iPad.
Please note that the models of the mini Ballylanders have limited features, and no working parts: Ballicopter’s rotor and Wheelie’s wheels don’t turn. Large scale models of the Ballylanders, with more detailed features (for tactile exploration), can be 3D printed from other files on the Sonokids website.

3D Printing
The quality of your printed model depends on the quality of the used 3D printer, the printing process and the choice of materials.
Printing costs are NOT included with the file, and may vary. If you don’t own a 3D printer yourself, you may find one at a school or support organization for the blind or visually impaired, a library, or a nearby 3D print shop such as Hubs
Depending on your printer, the model may be white or any other color. This depends on the color of the filament the printer uses.
The below image shows the 3D printed Ballyland Code game grid, moveable Ballylanders and tiles printed by Perkins School for the Blind, using filament in many different colors.
