Sample IT Activities (Primary Schools)

Case C10: Online Coding Platform

Complexity	Elementary
Target Level	P1 – P6

Objective:
To offer hands-on building experience and programming learning opportunities to students. In an attempt to program a virtual robot in a physical-simulator, students will experience the basic programming in robotics.

Description:
The platform provides a chance for students to code a robot without having a physical robot. A series of online course will be provided to students. After the online courses, students may extend their learning by having hands on experience of building a real-world robot with the same code.

Hardware	Laptop / PC with Internet connection
Software	Common programming languages like Python / Scratch
Cloud Services	Optional
Major Activities	Theoretical session covering: Basic introduction to robotics Computational thinking skills Practical session covering: Practical work for an automatic system with example code Share the challenges and lesson learnt Problem-solving skills
Learning Objective(s)	How to collaborate in groups and teams How to use the programming software Understand the logic and operation of robot Develop the problem-solving capacities
Duration	10 lessons (online / face-to-face lessons)
Target No. of Students	About 20 – 30 students per workshop
