Introduction to Robotics
Build and bring simple robots to life through project-based challenges using beginner-friendly platforms such as LEGO Education WeDo. Students work in pairs to explore movement, icon-based coding, and creative problem-solving.
What students do
Students explore how robots move and follow instructions through hands-on building projects using platforms such as LEGO Education WeDo. Lessons introduce motors, sensors, and icon-based programming through guided, grade-appropriate challenges. Students practice building together, taking turns with paired programming, and testing simple instructions as they bring their creations to life.

- Grades 3-5Robotics
Robotics
Design, build, and program robots using platforms such as LEGO Education SPIKE Prime and VEX. Project-based challenges introduce sensors, mechanisms, and word-based block coding while developing teamwork and greater independence.
- Grades 6-8Robotics
Robotics
Take on engineering challenges with platforms such as LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3, SPIKE Prime, and VEX. Students develop greater independence as they design mechanisms, program sensor-driven behaviors, and refine robotic solutions.
- Grades 3-5Robotics
Robotics with Python
Take a guided first step into Python by using code to control robots. Project-based activities combine hands-on building with short programming tasks that make text-based coding approachable for upper elementary learners.
- Grades 6-8Robotics
Robotics with Python
Program robots with Python through project-based engineering challenges. Students work with greater independence to use sensor input, organize code, and develop robotic behaviors that respond to real-world conditions.
- Grades K-2Coding
Coding: Digital Arts, & Animation
Bring original characters and stories to life with icon-based tools such as ScratchJr. Paired, project-based activities combine digital art, simple animation, and unplugged storytelling.
- Grades K-2Coding
Coding: Introduction to Game Development
Create simple games with icon-based coding tools such as ScratchJr. Students work in pairs to design characters, choose controls, and explore what makes a game easy to understand and fun to play.
