Tips
- 🧠 Getting Started
Number each kit – Keeps pieces organized and helps groups take responsibility.
Introduce build-first, code-later – Let students assemble before programming to reduce overwhelm.
- 🔧 Build Tips
Use gentle cable curves – Avoid tight bends to prevent connection issues.
Test small changes – Run code in tiny steps instead of building giant programs at once.
- 💻 Coding Tips
Name projects clearly – Helps students find and continue work on multi-day builds.
Use simple starter blocks – Begin with motor movement and sensor reads before branching logic.
Encourage iteration – Ask, “What can you try next?” to build problem-solving habits.
