Tips 

🚂 Intelino Smart Train Tips for Teachers

• Start with Snap Commands: Use the color-coded snap commands (colored tiles placed on the track) to teach basic logic and cause-effect relationships—perfect for younger learners or screen-free coding.

• Use the Intelino App: For more advanced coding, download the free Intelino app to control the train with drag-and-drop programming (similar to Scratch). 

• Create Challenge Tracks: Design simple or complex track layouts and let students solve challenges like delivering cargo, navigating a route, or avoiding obstacles using snap commands or app-based code.

• Group Work is Key: Have students work in small groups to promote teamwork—one can build the track, one can program, and another can observe and record results.

• Integrate with Curriculum: Use the trains to reinforce sequencing, patterns, measurement, and even storytelling. For example, have students write a narrative to go along with the train’s route.

• Plan for Charging Time: Make sure Intelino trains are charged before use. One charge typically lasts through multiple class periods. Rotate usage among student groups if needed.

• Let Students Debug: Encourage kids to find and fix issues with their tracks or code—it’s a great way to build persistence and logical thinking.

• Explore Cross-Curricular Connections: Use Intelino in science (energy, speed), math (measuring distance, estimating time), or even social studies (mapping routes through different terrains).
