Interesting set of tutorials:

Here's the Lua API documentation - pretty extensive!

I'm surprised they don't list these off the landing page.
I'm unclear about the business model too - seems like it could be an interesting option for learning coding after Scratch, Python Turtle, etc.
Interestingly I noticed they got some seed funding from A16Z but as far as I know Scratch is supported via philanthropy which A16Z is not. Pretty cool - hopefully they go the edtech route versus NFT/Roblox heavy on the monetization route!
Edit: Found their Youtube channel which explains a bit more about the goals and has some video tutorials:

Also the requisite TC launch article:

Good timing on the launch - just in time for kids getting off for summer break!
