Description & Aims
«Robots and kids» is a project to help kids to grasp the theory and practice of computational thinking and develop their intellectual skills. Robots is a cross-curricular toy that offers a fun and engaging way to learn about other subjects too. Learning to code in early years is fundamental. It is easy to integrate robots in preschool curriculum. Using Robot will teach to kids the basics of programming away from the screen. The school partner share their ideas and think together about the best ways to teach through robots.
