Class Description

Young engineers will build their robots and learn to code them to solve fun team challenges. We’ll build our bot with a Micro:bit microcontroller brain, sensors, and motors that make it move, follow commands, and paths, avoid obstacles and even sing a song. Learning themes include robotics, computer programming, physical computing, mechanical engineering, circuitry, and physics. Engineers will program their bot creations, first in Scratch, a drag-and-drop, color-coded programming editor created by MIT to teach skills and concepts in programming, and then advance to an introduction in Python, the industry-standard programming language.
Skills Learned: Robotics, Hands-On Engineering, Coding (MIT Scratch & Python), Physical Computing, Computational Thinking

Instructor's reviews

My daughter actually switched to the other section of this class... 3rd-5th Grade, so I don't want to give this teacher a bad review but she had started in this section (K-2), so that's the review I was sent.

Overall, I found this class to be very disappointing. It was listed as a class taught by a Disney Princess and the class ended up having 3 different teachers during the course. This was confusing for the students and didn't offer any cohesiveness. The teachers couldn't even remember the kids names. At the end of the semester, very few songs or dances were actually taught and the kids mostly played games during the hours of the class. The class isn't inexpensive, so for this, I wouldn't gone somewhere else to give my daughter a better experience and have her learn something.

Harry Potter Camp was so much fun! My girls loved making wands and creating potions...and thinking of mischievous ways to stir trouble at Hogwarts! The creative programming was wonderful for this outdoor day camp and kept my girls busy and having a great time. Their only request was that the day lasted longer! They came home and continued creating ideas to keep the magic going. Thank you!

I feel that this course is not tailored for K-1 grade. K-1 graders need more moving around, especially after a long day at school, then was made possible by the instructor.
