RoboExplorers Workshop Syllabus

The workshop is divided into five, couple hours sessions.

Students would be divided into 2 groups since we have only handful of robots; One group learns while other works on robot and then they switch.

	Session 1
Duration (min)	Group 1 activity	Group 2 activity
15	Intro to workshop, brief block coding
45	Programming software - Block coding details, robots, variables	Amazon warehouse (order picking)

Instructional Framework

The language and challenges should be simple enough for a 3rd grader to understand easily.
The code learned should have a visible, real-world application—just displaying output on a computer screen is not enough.
Primarily conducted in person, with virtual learning as a supplemental option.
Assignments should include straightforward homework tasks.
Workshop sessions should have a flexible structure that adapts to location, students, and any obstacles encountered.
Designed for 3rd to 8th graders, with students having beginner to intermediate Scratch coding skills—this is not for advanced Scratch coders.
The majority of learning should be self-directed through experiments, with classroom instruction making up no more than 30% of the time.
Achievements should be rewarded at every stage with incentives like candy, medals, or certificates.
Course would be designed and taught by FLL Coaches, FLL winner students and university professors

Who can sign up ?

Any student between 3-8th grade
Block coding beginner / Intermediate level (Not for advanced level)
Can participate in majority of the sessions. Learning is progressive so if student misses out on 2 or more consecutive sessions, it would hard to catch up.
