This workshop is designed for young children to learn the fundamentals of robotics and programming. Using one of our tech educational tools, Dash & Dot, students will be introduced to technology as a tool to solve simple and complex problems.
Students will experience how to give commands to robots using iPads to solve puzzles and projects. They will learn basic concepts in mathematics and programming - time, speed and conditionals.
The workshop covers
- Understanding programming as giving a list of commands
- Understanding key mathematics and science concepts (time, speed, intensity)
- Understanding concepts in programming (event driven, repeat)
- Understanding the use of computer and robots in real world
What to bring: An iPad (optional), and a mindset to create and experiment
*Please note, for each ticket it will be for 1 workshop per family. And the ticket fee will be refunded when you sign up for a First Code Camp/Term class
