Robotics & Coding with Robothink

Overview

RoboThink is the world’s leading STEM Edu-tainment company focusing on Robotics and Coding. Designed to improve a child’s:

1. Critical Thinking
2. Logical Thinking
3. Spatial Awareness
4. Problem Solving,
5. and to Have Fun!

The students will use our Unique Robotics Kit. RoboThink develops and manufactures a proprietary line of educational hardware that makes learning about the exciting world of engineering educational and fun.

It is designed for younger kids, and modularity makes using advanced electronics easy. It results from countless hours of research and development into child learning and play behaviour.

Students get a chance to build, code, and play with developmental blocks and gears and gain crucial exposure to the world of electrical and mechanical engineering at an early age.

Course Content:

The students will be exposed to different builds and/or robots in every lesson. They will start by building, following a set of instructions with guidance from a coach.

This robotic coding programme will spirally develop the children from various STEM concepts and coding techniques. Here are the 8 levels of this programme:

Level 1: Junior Engineer 1

Every great journey begins with that first step! This first level introduces both the robotics and coding aspects of the curriculum, while building up our essential core skills: spatial awareness, critical thinking, problem- solving, independence, etc.

Level 2: Junior Engineer 2

Let’s keep that momentum going! The students continue to build up on the concepts initially established in Level 1. Some of the builds get a little bit more complex, and the coding activities may be a little more demanding. Let’s continue to build up that efficiency!

Level 3: Engineer 1

Scaffolding up in difficulty, it’s time for the students to start taking the concepts they’ve gotten exposed to and apply them to their own creations. This level is also meant to be a ”jumping-on” point; the first four lessons are repeats of Level 1, meant to ensure that new students are up to gear before continuing on.

Level 4: Engineer 2

Let’s keep rocking! This level continues to provide the student with a combination of both fun robotics activities and challenging coding-related hurdles for them to overcome. By the end of this level, students will be using the wireless controllers, and they’ll briefly get to see the servo motors!

Level 5: Advanced Engineer 1

Here comes the heavy-duty equipment! These lessons use both the servo motor and the wireless controllers and continue to build upon the mastery that the students have already demonstrated. The lessons will slowly transition to being predominantly RoComi-based, before making the final jump to RoCode in the final levels!

Level 6: Advanced Engineer 2

This level consists purely of RoComi activities and provides the student with even more coding-based challenges to overcome. By the end of these activities, the students will be Engineering Experts!

Level 7: Expert Engineer

Welcome to the big leagues! Having mastered RoComi, it’s time to introduce the next coding program, Scratch- based coding! These lessons were originally developed for online instruction but can be seamlessly adapted to use with our RoCode software for in- person instruction.

Level 8: Master Engineer

It’s the final challenge! These lessons were developed specifically for RoCode and provide the ultimate challenge! While the previous levels have provided the students with the code they need to enter, this level has the students mostly figuring out solutions for themselves. This is the chance for students to take what they’ve learned in Level 7 and really shine!

Learning Outcomes:

Critical Thinking:

• Engaging in challenges and projects encourages them to think critically, fostering a mindset of exploration and inquiry.

Logical Thinking:

• Logical puzzles and coding activities stimulate their cognitive processes, building a strong foundation in logical thinking.

Spatial Awareness:

• Robotics and coding exercises involve spatial relationships, aiding students in visualising and manipulating objects in a virtual or physical space.

Problem Solving:

• Coding projects and robotics tasks allow students to apply problem-solving methodologies creatively and practically.

Delightful and Engaging Learning Experience:

• The curriculum is crafted to be enjoyable, ensuring that learning is educational and exciting.

Teaching Methods:

Step-by-Step Guidance: Clear and Simple Instructions

Assessment Methods:

A free-build assessment will be conducted mid- and end-term to determine the students' understanding. Feedback will be provided to the parents in the coursebook.

Prerequisites:

No prior robotics or coding skills are required

Required materials:

All materials are provided

Personal belongings: Water bottle

Trial Lesson

Paid Trial Lesson ($25) is available once for 1st timers. 

Important notes:

• The curriculum has 12 lessons per cycle. Therefore, parents must purchase a 12-lesson package for their child every term.
• The 12-lesson package expires in 4 months.
• Make-up should be arranged within the same week.
