Finch Robot 2.0 can be used with the following programming languages:
FinchBlox (icon-based for pre-readers - available on iOS, Android, Fire OS)
BirdBlox (block-based - available on iOS, Android, Fire OS)
MakeCode (block-based - available on Chrome, Mac, Windows, Linux)
Snap! (block-based - available on Mac, Windows)
Python (text-based - available on Mac, Windows)
Java (text-based - available on Mac, Windows)
Notes:
* Please note that the Finch uses micro:bit as its processor; you must have one in order to operate the robot. The micro:bit is sold seperate and not included with the finch robot. ** A Hummingbird BIT Bluetooth Dongle is required for Snap!, Python, and Java on Windows and pre-2014 Macs.
