Coding is all around us now. When you consider how many electronic products, we use daily, you quickly realize how coding has become an integral part of our lives. Whenever we use our microwave, our vehicle, our phones, our TV and our bank card, we are using our coding skills. But we don’t use these things in school so how do we teach coding in our classes?

Robotics is one way we can do this. Depending on the type of robot you are working with, you can teach visual design, mechanical engineering, patterning, transformations, Cartesian grids, direction, algebra, and so on.

Getting Started with Robotics and Coding

This course provides a fun and easy way to get started on robotics. Students will build models, attach simple sensors and motors, plug them into their computers, and then configure behavior using intuitive, icon-based easy to use software. It strengthens children’s understanding of the science and engineering practices. Which is done by asking questions, solving problems, modeling, prototyping, investigating, analyzing and interpreting data
