To attend this class your child will need to have completed my first class Fun Beginner introduction to Robotics/Coding/Programming so that they have the beginning understanding of how Botley the robot moves. This would make a great STEM class. This series breaks up my course into one time classes that you can fit around when you would like to do it rather than the same time each day/week. You can pick and choose which classes to attend. In this session your child will create their own challenges. Your child will tell me the code to program the robot to complete the challenge. It is advised that you print out the attached pdfs so your child can draw the challenges that they are not participating in. Your child will not need a Botley robot accessory pack but if they do please have the tiles set up in a 2x3 grid ready for the class. I am flexible with timings so please let me know if there is a better time for your family. ***This class will need 2 or more children to run***
Learning Goals
Your child will think through all the steps to reach the goal and communicate these steps to me.
They will work on direction giving from the view of the robot.
Your child will collaborate to achieve the challenges where needed.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Iowa Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Roehampton University of London
My name is Mrs. Thelen. I earned my Teaching degree in England back in 2002 and started teaching in England that same year and have continued ever since. I have also worked in Denmark, Oregon, Texas and Utah since then. I have a license to teach from the state of Utah and Iowa.
I have taught children ranging from 6 weeks to 10 years in private and public schools, I have taught all general subjects in this setting, mostly teaching 4–6-year-old and I love it!
I believe that children learn best when they are interested and engaged in the learning. I will be using fun ways to teach your child and every child will get a chance to participate in my small group setting.
I am going to also do a basic coding/programming class for children aged 4-8 using a small robot that the children will learn how to make it move and give me the instructions to fill challenges each time. The children will be thinking through each step to achieve the goal, all while having fun with technology.
I have carried out similar activities in school setting and feel it will benefit children online too. I have worked teaching kindergarten online for the ending period of 2020 school year when Covid hit and the whole of the school year starting 2020-21. During this period, I focused on making sure that along with regular subjects the children could still make connections with myself, and other children, and still be creative.
Some fun facts about me are that I love living in different places, I love creating things and I am also the second eldest of 9 children and have loved being with children all my life!
