NEXPLORE ROBOCODING
Coding without a computer? It’s the best way to start! This program gives students a hands-on introduction to the fundamentals of both coding and robotics, allowing them to build and execute programs in the real world! With award-winning Cubelets kits, students combine robotic cubes–each with their own unique function–to create machines that can light up, move, and interact with the world around them. Students gain an in-depth understanding of fundamental concepts like inputs, outputs, and processing, and discover how simple building-blocks can come together to perform more and more complex tasks. By working together to solve coding and building challenges, students also reinforce essential life skills like teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.
