Demystify & Debug Robotics

What exactly is a robot? Can we teach a robot to make toast? What will happen if we get a bug in our code? In this online workshop recording, you will uncover basic concepts of computational thinking and unlock the world of computers for children, which means this workshop recording is strongly recommended for any service considering purchasing Bee-Bots (or something similar) as an educational tool. By watching this recording, you can:

• Develop games and provocations to improve sequencing and sorting.
• Understand the fundamentals of computational thinking.
• Recognise computational learning opportunities in everyday life.
• Gain age-appropriate computer science ideas for implementation in your service.
• Know how to support children to unlock computer science and “speak to a computer”.
• Undertake the preliminary work needed to introduce Bee-Bots into your service, like learning the skills and processes to program a Bee-Bot.

In an increasingly digital society, Computer Science is essential to help early childhood educators reframe digital technology as an exciting tool for learning, rather than as passive entertainment. You will immerse yourself in the world of computer science and playfully explore how to engage children in algorithms, sequencing, and sorting and gain expertise in the pedagogical topic of early computational thinking.

After you purchase a recording, you can view it for 30 days before the link expires.
