EDU-MaticRobotics Coding Kit with Bot for Kids on New CAPS Curriculum

About

Novice

Master the basics of coding and robotics with the Level 1 Novice Book & Kit which is designed in South Africa for the new South African Robotics CAPS Curriculum learner.

This is the perfect kit for children that are just stepping into the world of robots and computers. During this course, learners will gain a better understanding of pattern recognition, sequencing, and practical problem-solving. With the use of logical thinking in many of the activities, they will be able to take what they experience in their real-life world and apply it to robotics and coding. 

They will have covered the beginning stages of block coding and have a good understanding of the capabilities of robots, how they function in the world around us, and how to use them to make tasks easier. Code in a fun and interactive way using a block-based coding environment & apply that knowledge to the Novice Bot. 

After that bring to life your first automated robot. Learn how to read sensory inputs and instruct the Novice bot to follow a line. Learn and play more with the bot by programming it to avoid objects in the room. One of many features. Additionally includes an online course with 31 lessons (videos) which amount to 14 hours. Learners will explore the following concepts: Algorithm Decomposition Patterns Abstraction These concepts are delivered through tinkering, debugging, persevering, and collaborating. Our curriculum is delivered via an online platform that contains comprehensive teacher guides enabling teachers with little or no experience to facilitate a robust learning experience.

Apprentice

Master the basics of coding and robotics with the Level 2 Apprentice Book & Kit which is designed in South Africa for the new South African Robotics CAPS Curriculum learner.

This kit also comes with all the tools and hardware learners need to build their own remote-controlled car (AND crane!).

A fully detailed student guide and a fully online course with videos to guide learners through the entire syllabus.

This course begins with an introduction to basic computer skills. Once learners have gained a basic knowledge of computer skills and their fundamental components such as the internet and e-communications, the learners will then progress to an introductory course on MakeCode.

This platform will provide the learners with the opportunity to create interactive and engaging programming experiences as first-time members of the world of programming. Possessing this knowledge and skills will form a foundation for a tailored experience enabling learners to create and run user programs on stimulated targets such as the Micro:Bit and Micro:Bit car.

Learners will explore the following concepts:

• Scratch Coding
• Micro:bit Board
• Micro:bit Car

These concepts are delivered through tinkering, debugging, persevering, and collaborating. Our curriculum is delivered via an online platform that contains comprehensive teacher guides enabling teachers with little or no experience to facilitate a robust learning experience.

Boost your coding skills with Scratch the interactive block-based visual programming language that s got more than 58 million projects shared by over 57 million users world-wide!

Coding doesn't have to be scary. With the help of Scratch, students will learn everything from the basics of coding to creating small stories, drawing complex shapes and building their own games.

Scratch is a multifaceted tool that'll boost students coding skills tremendously.
