Edventures Rockin' Robots Program
Music-based activities keep class rockin' as young students work together to program robots and investigate sound!
Combine coding principles and robotics curriculum with hands-on building skills as students code a small robot to perform during musical challenges. Sphero indi is an approachable, entry-level robot that introduces students sound effects, the music scale, and song writing as they learn coding basics. First, they place colorful tiles on the floor, then a color sensor instructs the robot where to go next in a melodic maze as it rolls over the cards. Each activity guide includes background information about STEM robotics, materials list, and optional extension activities.
Curriculum includes 12 one-hour lessons and is great for use in classrooms, makerspaces, robotics clubs, before and afterschool programs, and summer camps. Store materials in the included storage tub. Full contents list below. Accommodates 30 students. Recommended for Grades 1-3.
