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 3 kits each containing 5 SPRK+. 

Kit 6a includes the Terrain Park ramp, Kit 6b The Jump Ramps, and Kit 6c the Chariot and nubby

Reminders:

• iPads are requires 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.
