Learn coding and robotics
Always a chance to practice what they have learnt
Inspire confidence and familiarity with code by applying programming concepts with Hopscotch and Sammy the Robot
Brush up on soft skills at the same time
Use what you’ve learned to solve problems for the residents of Code Island, developing important soft skills like teamwork, collaboration and communication along the way!
What You'll Learn
Are you ready for the next chapter of your journey on Code Island? Buckle up because it’s going to be a wild ride! In Tots & Tech 3, kids learn advanced coding concepts with robotics through a fun-filled combination of physical and on-screen challenges and activities.
Hold on to your hats as we venture deeper into Code Island!
In the next chapter of your coding adventure, we will review all we’ve learned about coding and technology from our familiar friend, Sammy the Sandwich, and gain exposure to advanced programming concepts.
Applying their knowledge from Tots & Tech 2, preschoolers will befriend the diverse inhabitants of Code Island, and use their coding superpowers to help them solve their problems.
This time, learn how to program robots using gears and mechanisms. Use code to programme your robots to play different sounds and display various lights!
Delving deeper into advanced programming concepts like Conditionals, Variables and Functions, make good on your programming knowledge to see how you might be able to lend a helping hand to the population of Code Island.
Afterwards, transit from tangible programming to the Hopscotch coding platform for kids, where you’ll code up games you’ll have a blast playin’ with your friends and family!
By the end of class, kids will not only have made a new robot friend but will also have created their own animations or games that others can enjoy. And they’ll be all set to take on the more complex and more exciting world of block-based programming with Scratch, which they’ll get a peek into in Tots & Tech 4.
No lectures. No memorisation. No ONE right answer. Like real life, we’re all about trying things out yourself, failing, figuring what went wrong & trying again. These are the skills & mindset that will last a lifetime and how we learn in real life. Let’s get kids to learn how to learn. Because the kids who learn to learn become curious, inventive, resourceful human beings who solve real world problems to make a meaningful impact.
