In this class, young learners will use movement, stories, games, and hands-on activities to explore the exciting world of robots--what are they? How do they learn? What do they do for us? Class ends with an "unplugged" coding activity.

In this single class, young learners will have a blast learning all about robots--what they are, what they do, how they work, why we use them, and more. This course is chock full of age-appropriate sharing and interaction! Students will alternate between movement activities, video clips, a read-aloud selection, and drawing/building/sculpting challenges related to the theme. Content will be reinforced by these hands-on activities plus interactive discussion, with plenty of time to share...
- Students will be able to define what a robot is. We will look for examples in the real world.
- Students will be able to explain the difference between robots and regular machines.
- Students will learn about how we communicate with robots. Students will then practice how coding works through a movement activity and an interactive group game.
- Students will use that we discussed in class to imagine and create their own robot (art project, not an actual functional robot).
From Miss Alex: I'm so excited to share my love of these exciting adventurers with you! I've been teaching STEAM through fun, engaging topics like these to preschool through middle school for 6 years through an independent STEAM education company, and I'm really looking forward to connecting with new students here on Outschool. Not only will we be learning about robots and what makes them AWESOME--but we'll sneak in some colors, numbers and math, comparing and contrasting, observation, movement and more--all things that preK, kindergartners and 1st graders love to learn and practice!
