Apps

All apps for Dash and Dot are free.  If you would like to have these apps loaded on your school iPads, have your School iPad manager purchase the apps through Apple's Volume Purchase program, and push them out to your iPads. The manager will need to know the name of your iPad Kit.  

Prior to booking any Robotics kit we suggest that students spend some time learning about Computational Thinking through both unplugged activities and digital activities. Teachers have found that students who have developed an understanding of Computational Thinking concepts were able to go much further and deeper with the kits. Code.org provides a good place to start as it provides resources, unplugged activities and well structures lessons.

Contents: 

There are 6 kits each containing three Dash and Dots. *Kit 7c does not contain the Launcher, Balls and Trailer Hooks.

3 Dash, 3 Dots, 6 charging cables, 1 xylophone, 1 xylophone hammer, 8 Building Bricks, 6 Target Stackers, 1 Bulldozer Bar, *1 Launcher (has three parts), *3 balls,  2 Bunny Ears, 1 Bunny Tail, 1 Resource Binder, 1 box of Challenge Cards, and *2 Trailer hooks

Reminders:

• iPads are required and can also be booked. There is a limit of one set of iPads per teacher, despite the number, or types, of kits being signed out. These come preloaded with all the apps required. Having additional iPads can be beneficial as most of the work is done on the iPad.

• Devices may need to be charged when delivered

• When learning about coding and robotics have students work in groups of two or three. This help with generating ideas, problem solving and avoiding frustration.

This Kit can be booked through the Delta Media Library for a three week period..
