There are a lot of options if you want to bring programmable robots to your classroom. It is a build-a-robot kit designed to introduce children ages six and up to coding and robotics as well as the fun of problem-solving and creative thinking. The robot starts in about thirty pieces (there are so many, I didn’t really count them). You don’t use all of them in one robot, just pick those that will make your robot do what you want.

Two common computer science misconceptions are that it’s just about programming and that only teachers with computer science degrees should teach it. Teachers do not need computer science degrees to engage, enhance and extend student coding experiences due to the abundance of easily accessible creative coding and robotics programs. As early as kindergarten, Common Core math requires students to see math abstractly with numbers, concretely with objects, and visually with pictures.
