Robot Bootcamp

Does your school have robots but you're not sure how to use them in your classroom? Strengthen your students' problem-solving skills and engage creatively with the curriculum through robotic exploration! This session will provide you with the foundational knowledge to help your students code a robot through block-based coding across multiple coding platforms. Learn how computational thinking skills such as pattern recognition, algorithm design, and debugging are necessary when coding and how to connect robotics to curricular concepts in any subject. Get hands-on experience with a robot and walk away with a few cross-curricular project ideas to use in your classroom! The skills learned in this workshop will be shown on multiple robots to help you transfer to what your school has access to. Devices will be supplied for this session. Session Objectives: 1. Develop an understanding of coding and computational thinking 2. Familiarity with educational robots 3. Develop confidence to utilize robots in the classroom
