Blockly (Wonder Workshop)

What is it?

Blockly works with Wonder Workshops hardware including the Dash and Dot robots. Blockly helps teach students how to use visual drag and drop block coding to manipulate robots, enable sensors and design sequences.

What can you do with it?

  • Have students program Dash & Dot to act out a scene or major plot points from a story
  • Program Dash & Dot to perform a procedural piece of writing
  • Explore angles, shapes and linear measurement through coding
  • Put a number line or hundreds chart on the floor and have students program Dash to skip count or show a number pattern
  • Put a map down on the floor and program Dash to visit specific locations using directional instructions or co-ordinates
