Students will work individually or in pairs with a Lego Spike Prime kit. Time will be split between learning how to build a robotic device, and programming basic robotic functions. Lego programming is done in Scratch-like block coding.

Scratch, like other block based coding languages, is a good place for kids to start. They learn the structure of coding without needing to worry about a lot of syntax. The pieces of code are each in block format, and the program is a connecting of the blocks to make the animation on the screen do things.

Students will learn how to create a CAD design for an item to be built. This lesson requires approximately middle school levels of reading and math comprehension. Programming of the CAD design is done in TinkerCAD. To create a drawing for printing, most children will require more than one TinkerCAD lesson or individual appointment.
