Learning Journey

How Students Progress Through This Stage

1

Foundations

Structured robotics builds and block-to-text coding transition.

2

Systems Thinking

Introducing sensors and how inputs drive automated behavior.

3

Guided Projects

Semi-open project briefs with defined success criteria.

4

Presentation

Documenting and presenting builds to peers and teachers.

Activities

  • Sensor-based robotics builds (line-following, obstacle-avoidance)
  • Transitioning from block coding to real Python syntax
  • Simple circuit design and soldering basics (supervised)
  • Introductory IoT builds connecting a sensor to a dashboard

Skills Developed

  • Structured debugging
  • Basic electronics and circuit reading
  • Text-based programming fundamentals
  • Data reading and interpretation
