1. Start by comparing machine learning to coding Your kids have probably watched a battle bots competition before, right? You know, where robots are coded with an algorithm - a set of instructions that are followed to accomplish a task; a computer’s thought process - to attack and "battle...
products such as lego mindstorms and arduino combine coding with hands-on building and experimentation. you can program robots to perform specific tasks—so you can see the direct impact of your coding skills in the physical world. it's easy to see how these gamification concepts can make ...
WithSphero, kids can build programs, and see them immediately come to life with easy-to-implement coding. And with many talents and skills packed within the Sphero Bolt, Sphero RVR, and other programmable robots, students now have the capability to create and build functionalities they could onl...
Code Kidsis a robotics and coding club that gives children the chance to develop their technical creativity without being sat in front of a screen. Their workshops use technologies like stop motion animation, AI and even Minecraft to teach children how to create and programme their own designs u...
Group projects let students take control of their learning by giving them chances to learn from, and teach, each other, all while tackling complex problems. Conclusion: mix it up! Depending on what you are looking to do, and how your students like to learn, teaching coding with kids in gr...
Robots are fun to play around with. It makes sense to use them to teach kids how to code. Wink is an educational kit based on Arduino that helps students transition from graphical programming to written code languages. Students can program their robot to follow lines, seek light, detect barr...
That’s the number of results my latest Google search for ‘educational robots’ turned up. With such an overwhelming number of resources claiming to be ‘perfect’ for teaching coding to kids, attempting to find the right robot to use in your classroom can be a daunting task. How do you...
Toy robots that teach kids how to code are, honestly, nothing new. But, on the CES 2018 show floor, we’ve met one coding toy robot to beat them all: the Root by Root Robotics and Coding & Play. The Root is unique in that, rather than simply teaching toddlers how to code through...
What is the right age to teach coding? This is a controversial question. Some argue that even kids as young as 7-8 years old become geniuses when exposed to computers early on. And there are many cases of kids growing exponentially intelligent when exposed to computers early. But the right...
Collaboration and engagement while coding are vital elements for children, yet very little is known about how children's engagement and collaboration impact their attitudes toward coding activities. The goal of the study is to investigate how collaboration and engagement moderate children's attitudes ...
