Enhancing Hands-On Coding Experience with Pro-Bots in Mr Sage's Computing Club
Riverside Primary School
Description
1. The club focuses on teaching coding and computational thinking skills. Participants will learn programming concepts through hands-on activities that involve controlling Pro-Bots, which are programmable robots. The curriculum is designed to make abstract coding concepts more tangible by using physical movements and real-world applications facilitated by mats and grids.
2. Hands-on Activities: Participants use Pro-Bots to complete coding tasks, which involves programming the robots to navigate through various mats and grids.
Interactive Learning: Real-world coding applications are incorporated through the use of interactive mats and a clear grid.
Collaborative Software: The Probotix Site Licence allows multiple students to work on shared projects, fostering a collaborative learning environment.
3. Increase Engagement: Make coding more engaging and interactive to attract more students and sustain their interest in computing.
Enhance Learning: Provide a deeper understanding of programming concepts through practical, hands-on activities.
Support Collaborative Learning: Promote teamwork and collective problem-solving skills through shared access to the Probotix software.
4. The event targets students who are members of Mr Sage's computing club, with a focus on inclusivity and diversity. This includes underserved and underrepresented groups such as:
- Individuals with migration and refugee backgrounds
- Students from low-income households or disadvantaged economic backgrounds
- Residents of socially deprived neighbourhoods
- Students without access to their own IT devices
- Ethnic minorities
- Children and youth with disabilities
5. Bridging the Digital Divide: Provides access to quality educational resources for students who may not have their own IT devices.
Promoting Equality:Ensures all students, regardless of their background, have the opportunity to engage in coding and computational thinking activities.
Interactive and Fun: The use of Pro-Bots makes learning to code a fun and engaging activity, which is especially appealing to young students.
Supportive Environment: The collaborative nature of the activities promotes teamwork and peer support, creating a positive learning environment.
