Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? A high-school-focused technology support specialist envisioned Roversa as open-ended, spanning PreK through twelfth grade, with the micro:bit's pins allowing control of many things beyond buttons and the LED screen. → Bredder 2026

Educator comment from the first session (Lotus district build-and-test session), coded under technology-intelligence. Leonard drew on his micro:bit experience to describe how students could extend Roversa beyond simple examples. This is one educator's perception.
"It's [Roversa] more open ended, it literally spans PreK to kindergarten, all the way to twelfth grade. And it also shows how a micro:bit can be used beyond just pushing the two buttons and an LED screen"
