로봇과 함께하는 초보자 프로그래밍/코딩 1:1 (4주 수업)

Coding and programming are how we communicate with technology.  This 4-week class is your child’s first introduction to coding and programming with the help of Botley the robot. This would make for a great STEM class.
Each week we will continue to build the coding skills needed to control a robot, learning how to think ahead and in the language needed to program successfully.  The focus will be on how the importance of the right order and correct number of instructions to get my robot to where we want him to go! We will use the same robot each week so that your child's skills can be built upon using the same robot, but they don’t need to have their own one to have fun and learn.
Each session we will go over what was covered before as a reminder, and then demonstrate the moves/instructions needed that session, such as Right, Left, Forward, Backward and Transmit. Your child will tell me the instructions so the challenge can be completed in one transmission to the robot. This helps the child think through each step of the instruction in advance to make sure the robot will meet the challenge. They will also learn about the importance of being exact when coding. 
Your child will also be given the opportunity to help explain to other children how to do each challenge if they want to and if it is needed.

Some of the tasks we will do are to reach a goal, such as collect and transport a ball, avoid obstacles and get around a maze!  The class will be interactive and your child will be encouraged to join in as they feel comfortable. Your child will learn to do basic coding/programming through a fun and collaborative way with no robot needed.

The outline below is a guide of what your child will learn, but we will go at the pace of the learners. The lessons will progress at the leaner’s pace and will include:
Exploring the programmer, instruction cards and board.
Week 1: Collect an item.
Week 2: collect and return, and collect in order.
Week 3: Soccer
Week 4:Construction zone.
Botley is programmed in a similar way to the Beebot that many schools use in Technology class. Your child will be able to build on the skills that they are learning in school with this Botley robot.

You can try one of my one time class to see if this is a good fit for your child. If you do not see a time that fits with your schedule please reach out and we can discuss different times. I am very flexible.
