Students will get introduced to different robots and learn how to code using various online tools.  

Student should be able to read in order to follow puzzle instructions.  If new to coding, I recommend an adult be present to assist in the beginning. I will monitor and help students with planning and solving coding puzzles as needed.  Each week will be unique and theme like.

** Lessons recycled at the end of section** 

Students can join at any time.  Depending on understanding and experience, new students can work on an introductory lesson or the lesson of the week.  

Teacher will introduce: LEGO Boost, LEGO WeDo, mBlock, Codey, Dash, Dot, Ozobot, Sphero, Bee-Bot, Blue Bot, R2-D2 and BB-8.  Robots are not required for class, but if they have one they can practice coding at home.  A great robot for building and coding is the LEGO Boost and mBlock.  A  great robot for just coding is Dash.   

Students will learn how to code using the following tool: Code.org. Learning and understanding how to code will help students understand how to code robots.  Students will need a laptop, chromebook or computer for coding.  Code.org is a free site and is available on all devices.  Teacher will provide login password.  

We do not build robots in class, but students are encourage to build and design at home using building blocks (LEGO, Duplo, Bristle blocks, gears or any other blocks available).
