Introduction to Robotics and Coding

Grades: K - 2nd (Ages: 6 - 8) Co-ed

This exciting offering uses the KIBO robotic system to teach computer coding, logic, and loops. Learn what a robot is and isn’t, and what you have to tell KIBO to make it move? How can you command KIBO to make noise, avoid obstacles, shine its light, dance, and then do it all over again? Each week new modules and coding blocks are added as students build on what they already learned. (Students do not keep this robot: each pair of students will share a robot during class.)
