Resolute Novice Scratch Coding Robot - Scratch

Description

Introducing the Resolute Novice Scratch Coding Robot - Scratch. The Resolute Novice Scratch Coding Robot is an educational tool that introduces children to the fundamentals of coding and robotics using the Scratch programming language. Designed to align with the South African Robotics CAPS Curriculum, this kit provides a strong foundation for learners who are new to robotics and computer programming.

The Novice Bot included in the kit serves as a practical tool to facilitate hands-on learning experiences in robotics and coding. The kit focuses on computational thinking, coding basics, and problem-solving skills, making it an ideal starting point for children venturing into the world of robotics and computers. Learners will engage in activities that promote pattern recognition, sequencing, and practical problem-solving, using logical thinking to apply real-life experiences to coding and robotics.

The block-based coding environment provided allows learners to code in an interactive and engaging way, enabling them to control and program the Novice Bot. Activities include programming the bot to perform tasks such as following a line or avoiding objects in a room, allowing learners to explore and understand the capabilities of robots in various contexts.

The kit also includes access to an online course with 31 video lessons, totalling 14 hours, covering concepts such as algorithms, decomposition, patterns, and abstraction. The curriculum is structured to encourage tinkering, debugging, persevering, and collaboration, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience. Additionally, the kit provides comprehensive teacher guides through an online platform, enabling educators with varying levels of experience to effectively facilitate the learning process.
