Robotics with Scratch. Level 2 (Sat 11:00am - 12:30pm)

Robotics with Scratch (Ages 8-9) 🎮🤖

When: Once a week for 1.5 hours

What we learn: In this program, children will use Scratch 3.0 to build and code their own robots, merging robotics with digital creativity! They will have the opportunity to design mini-games, animations, and interactive projects, then bring them to life by integrating LEGO-built robots into their creations.

A look into the class: Each session begins with a teacher-led presentation introducing a new topic. For example, in a Snowboarding Game class, students will first use Scratch 3.0 to program a simple game. Then, they will build a LEGO exoskeleton robot and program it to function as the game’s controller! This hands-on approach helps students understand robotics on a deeper level by seeing how their builds interact with the digital world.

What we achieve: This course enhances children's logical, technological, and analytical thinking while developing their programming and problem-solving skills. They will strengthen their creative and operational thinking, learn how to communicate ideas effectively, and gain hands-on experience in coding and robotics integration. Working in pairs, students will also improve their teamwork and collaboration skills, making learning both fun and interactive! 🚀💡

Our courses consist of two semesters: Level 1 and Level 2, which take place within one year and include a total of 37 classes. Typically, students complete a year of lessons before moving on to a more advanced course. However, in some cases, if their teacher believes they are ready, they can advance earlier.
