Would you like your children to have fun while getting to understand how thw world around them works? If the answer is yes, Emagister has the perfect course for you and your little ones!
In coding for Robotics kids don't just learn how to code a robot, they get to understand how the world around them works from the inside. What makes the washing machine go round? The light in the refrigerator turn on? The iRobot Rumba to change direction when it's facing a wall? Being able to answer questions like these provides a new perspective and the foundation for engineering the robots of tomorrow.
Thanks to the Robotics for Kids course, children will learn to code virtual 3D Robots! Just like using a flight simulator, your child will have a lot of fun coding Robots to navigate various 3D mazes while learning the foundations of mechanics, physics and engineering.
Tekkieuni is an online international school for children. They believe that learning coding is important just like learning to read and write and they use coding as a tool for creative thinking, problem solving and team work.
The secret sauce to Tekky Uni success is investing in teachers. All of their teachers are highly experienced in working with children and go through intensive training. They speak to children in their own language, they look for new ways to motivate them through playing and working on projects. But most importantly they create a fun learning environment that builds confidence in young adults.

About this course
We will learn to code a robot using a virtual robot simulator. He will start coding using Block-based programming and move on to writing code in Java.
We will get to know Coderz, a development software that includes more than 20 different fields in which every time you pass a level you get new and more complex tasks for the Robot. The virtual Robot simulator creates a fun learning experience because it resembles games of mazes and quests in 3D. In the beginning we will learn how to code the robot so it would drive and turn and by doing that he will gain understanding of the ratio between the turning angle of the motor and the wheel's perimeter.
Later on he will learn how to control the robot's speed while trying to find the perfect equation for speed and accuracy.
Finally, we will use all the knowledge he gained in physics and mechanics in order to implement sensors that will help the robot overcome various obstacles.
Ages: 10 to 13.
Kids will code virtual 3D Robots using an online learning environment, known to be the easiest, fastest and most efficient way to learn Robotics.

Course programme
Students will get to know the learning environment and start coding virtual 3D Robots in Blockly (a block-based programming language). As they progress students will translate what they learn in Blockly to lines of code in Java. By the end of the course, kids will be writing smart code in Java and solving complex mazes using various sensors.
LEARNING ENVIRONMENTCoderz – virtual 3D Robot simulatorWith more than 20 scenes and mazes, kids will use the Coderz gamified environment to control their 3D virtual Robots through various obstacles, challenges and competitions.
PROJECTSWelcome to Robotics! Students will get to know the development environment and the robot they will code. They will learn the following commands: drive forward, drive backwards and turn. Coding at this stage is done with Blockly (block-based programming).
Keep on Moving Students will learn how to use Gyroscope, how to see the input in the HUD, and how to measure the effect of speed on driving accuracy.
Time and Again Students will learn what a loop is, how to code it by using the same starting conditions and placing the command in the loop.
Square Snail Students will learn what a variable is and how to use variables to store information. They will code the robot to create the course of a snail by measuring its increasing/decreasing radius.
Touch and Go Students will learn what a touch sensor is and how to use it in order to change the driving route. They will code the robot to overcome obstacles in the maze, while using the touch sensor.
Zig Zag Students will get to know color sensor and speed\distance sensor (tachometer). They will learn how to calculate the driving distance by measuring the ratio between the motor's turning angle and the wheel's perimeter.
Welcome to Java! Students will be introduced to a new development environment called Java. They will start writing simple code and step by step they will translate what they learned in Blockly to code in Java. Students will practice writing in the new environment, by solving new and complex mazes in various scenes.
Final Project In the last unit, students will be exposed to a new robot configuration. The robot will have two sensors. They will use the proportional control algorithm to oversee the robot's speed. Students will also solve the last and most complex maze. They will decide which sensor to use and when to use it, in order to get the best results in the shortest time.
