Case R2: Screenless Robotic Coding Workshops

Complexity
  • Elementary
Target Level
  • P1 – P2

Objective:
To learn, build and improve the coding mindsets, logics and algorithm-related sequences by interacting with a physical electronic coding robots, which will accelerate and enrich the learning experience of all students. Finally, understand the core concepts, develop students’ computational thinking and collaboration skills.

Description:
The school will organise a series of workshops to students which provide concrete, contextualized lessons that seamlessly integrate grade-level mathematics, English and programming activities for students. The workshops will provide story books, maps, robot and blocks for students to solve the missions. Students can learn about different subject knowledge and English vocabulary during the activities.
