About This Activity
Coding: Students are introduced to creative coding and robotics through fun and engaging projects, stories and animations. In this tested & proven curriculum, we help students develop into logical thinkers, problem solvers and creators through creative coding projects using MIT Scratch or Scratch Jr. Students adventure through code as they begin creating animations, games, music, and videos of their super heroes. They also collaborate on projects and share their projects online. This program allows students to develop 21st century skills through the use of technology. No prior coding experience needed. Robotics: Students create and code robots, and learn to apply important concepts like light & sound sensors, gears, pulleys, axles and levers etc. Students program and debug in real time applying the concepts learnt in class and then transition into the world of electrical engineering & robotics. Great class for engineers of tomorrow!! In robotics, learners design, build, and code with LEGO® SPIKE kits: SPIKE Essential for K–2 introduces motors, simple mechanisms (gears, pulleys, axles, levers), and sensor basics SPIKE Prime for grades 3–5 deepens engineering with gearing up/down, motion/tilt/color sensors, and real-time iteration. Immediate feedback in Minecraft: Education and SPIKE apps makes abstract concepts tangible, strengthening logic, teamwork, and design thinking. You can cancel anytime with two week's notice.
