Interactive Lessons for Robotics and Coding
Does your existing program need new life? Students will use their creativity, mix in electronics & code to experience programming while building problem solving and computational thinking skills. Resources are also available such as the Life Sized Parts Identification Poster, and Code Cards to support students. The project based learning curriculum is designed by teachers to engage all students and make teaching CS easy.Teaching CS doesn’t have to be scary!
With Block-pi, coding becomes more accessible. Easily connect to the pi-top device (containing a Raspberry pi) through the Further interactive learning platform. Choose from 100s of premade CSTA standards aligned lessons. Write or edit code and send it wirelessly to the device from inside lessons! Roster students using Clever or Google, customize lessons, access resources, assess, and track progress through the Further teacher portal.
Real World Advanced Robotics & AI Projects
Students design and code complex projects using pi-top's custom curriculum, code libraries and hardware. Students can collaborate to design optimal traffic light systems, smart homes, and pollution reduction utilizing AI and machine learning (obstacle avoidance, color recognition, emotion detection).
Introduce CS through After School clubs and Summer Camps
The starter pack is an easy way to engage new learners to CS and Robotics. For new teachers & facilitators curious about teaching CS, this pack is a great way to build confidence in teaching & learning. Our self-paced learning design makes it easy for students to lead their learning with minimal teacher instruction.
