STEM CRL1 - Coding & Robotics Level 1 Scratch Codey Rocky Summer Camp (Ages6-9)

*Note: Students must have a Codey Rocky robot to take this class, see the Supply List for details******

What is Codey Rocky? It is a fun little robot that kids can use to learn about programming through the use of games and applications.  Codey Rocky combines high-tech hardware and software making it easy to create interactive projects and games. Students will be able to learn about logical thinking and the principles behind artificial intelligence (AI). Codey Rocky uses a visual blocked-based programming language making it easy for students to create complex sequences by just dragging and dropping.

At the end of the course, kids will understand the fundamental concepts of programming while having fun and playing games.

CLASS SCHEDULE:
Session 1: Introduction to Codey Rocky and basic controls. 
Students will learn the functions of Codey Rocky, software connectivity, and basic operations. Students will also be introduced to mBlock, the programming software used for controlling Codey Rocky. 

Session 2: Introduction to Sequences
Students will learn the concept of sequences and how to perform sequence modeling by completing a guided practice followed by an independent practice. 

Session 3: Sequences Part Two
Students will continue to explore programming sequences by completing a new guided practice followed by an independent game practice. 

Session 4: Loops Part One
Students will learn the concept of Loops and how robots perform loops in real-world scenarios. We will complete a guided practice followed by an independent practice. 

Session 5: Loops Part Two and Events
Students will continue to explore Loops and will be introduced to simple Events by completing a new guided practice followed by an independent game practice.
