Learning Robotics - Exploring Types of Coding
Lesson2 of 6 in this unit
Cool+PrimaryYear 5 - 6EnglishMathematicsTechnologyDesign and TechnologiesEconomicDesign ThinkingSystems ThinkingTechnology
Lesson Summary
This is a STEAM lesson, which adds the Arts to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). In this lesson, students explore the different coding methods that can be used to instruct a robot. They explore associated Apps and apply block coding, drawing and other available methods to create an array of movements. They then apply their learning to guide their robot to complete a range of challenges.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- understand the various programming and coding methods they can use to instruct a robot
- understand how contexts can be created to develop fun and engaging robotics activities for themselves and their peers.
Success criteria
Students can:
- use drawing, block coding and free play controls to command a robot
- explain the different processes they use to control their robot
- problem solve to determine distance, angles, speeds and movements required for their robot to successfully navigate prescribed contexts.
- use their robot in a range of collaborative contexts.
