Description
There's massive hype around coding and robotics nowadays but so many services miss the point. Coding and robotics is only useful as far as it makes our children's thinking visible and helps them to solve problems. That's what the HomeCode Robotics starter kit is all about. This course is a companion to the kit for you to get up and running using coding and robotics in your classroom or home school environment.
Using guided lessons, learners and teachers will be able to see how the Micro:Bit can be used to solve real world problems.
Where most kits are put together by engineers, this an educator assembled one. There is a big difference!
HomeCode is a coding and robotics education company that uses coding and robotics as a tool to make thinking visible and learning enjoyable.
These lessons take you through problems and how to solve them. From putting a fresh spin on an old game, testing conductivity, using lighting, and creating fruit-based instruments. Yes, it is as fun as it sounds :)
Having started on this course you and your learners will be able to take your HomeCode Robotics Kit to even more exciting projects like an automated watering system, communication systems, home automation and generating, capturing and processing real-world data.

Christopher Olsen
Coding and Robotics Educator
I am a qualified teacher (Post Graduate Certificate in Education for Grade 7-12) with an undergraduate degree in Journalism and Honours in both Anthropology and Theology. I have been working in different roles in schools for nearly 10 years and found my absolute favourite thing to do was include coding and robotics in subjects such as Natural Science and English. After seeing my experience in this, at the school I worked at primarily, I was given the task of being sole Coding and Robotics teacher for grade 0-7! This means I have taught from grade 0-12 and have seen how coding and robotics, and Thinking Skills, can help equip the next generation for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
I've stepped out of mainstream education to focus on homeschooling. My training and experience in teaching Thinking Skills and Coding and Robotics is helping me equip parents who want to take charge of their children(s) education. I'm here to empower families on their learning journey!

I really loved the videos
This is exactly what I was hoping for! Really brilliant introduction, amazing tools, and it makes me want to fill my curiosity.
Thank you so much It`s an Excellent course. I enjoyed as a teacher and it is so helpful for me to enter the robotics field ( Coding with students as activities at my school) Again Thanks a lot
Excellent, fun, clear, I loved it!
