Description

Weeks 1- 5: Driving Dash & Dot Robots with Code

Code Dash & Dot robots- two friendly bots that love to complete missions. Experiment with measurement, sensors, and tons of abilities to achieve badges throughout our session.

Children that attend this session will learn coding concepts through a block-based coding language called Blockly. This is a visual coding language that is rooted in Javascript code. Beginning coders will become proficient in the Blockly language as they learn the fundamentals of coding: sequences, algorithms, loops, events, conditionals, functions, and variables.

Weeks 7- 11: Ozobot Robot Coding

Code your very own Ozobot Evo- that you could get to keep! 

Learn to code with the awesome Ozobot Evo! Evo gets kids coding and loving robots with the stroke of a marker. Customize, code with colors, and advance to OzoBlockly, a block-based coding language that teaches kid coders the fundamentals of coding through learning sequences, algorithms, loops, events, conditionals, functions, and variables. Complete Ozobot challenges and competitions, all while learning how to code! Choose the option to have Kids Can Code purchase your robot for, and take your Ozobot home with you to keep the coding fun going all year! Otherwise, use Kids Can Code’s loaner robots throughout the entire session!

Have a Roomba- Robotic Vacuum? Then, your child must learn how to code Root!

Weeks 12- 17: Root Robot Coding

Through coding Root, Kid Coders will be introduced to a visual programming language that will progress from Level 1, a visual programming language to Root’s Level 3 coding language “Level 3 allows Kid Coders to solve problems and learn the syntax and structure of professional coding languages in Swift.”

Kid Coders will practice coding in a fun and laid back learning environment that will allow the ability to explore and expand on coding capabilities!

Bring Your Own Device! iPads preferred, but most tablets will work! *Please contact Ms. Lauren at lauren@kidscancodejax.com if your child needs to use a loaner device. We do not want anyone to miss out on this opportunity because of lack of technology!
