What is Kiddo Coder™?
This programme allows your child to explore and immerse themselves in the world of technology, developing an interest and curiosity about coding while building a basic understanding of technology and Artificial Intelligence, through fun and creative projects!
Using screen-free coding platform like Botley®, simple drag-and-drop interfaces like Scratch Jr., educational micro computer micro:bit, and entry-level coding robot like Codey Rocky, your child will have a head start on early childhood development through digital literacy.
Course Structure
Each level consists of 8 lessons
Botley engages children as young as 5 years in a basic form of coding utilising step coding and logic. Children can learn to code and do it completely screen free – no phone or tablet required.
Level 1 – Learn how codes function and combine to perform simple tasks and achieve different objectives
Scratch Jr. is a visual programming language designed to introduce programming skills to children ages 5–7. The app is considered an introductory programming language – a simplified way to learn programming at a younger age and without any reading or mathematics required.
Level 2 – Introduction to Scratch Jr. and creating simple animations
Level 3 – Learning advanced functions and creating customised backdrops and characters
micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that introduces you to how software and hardware work together. It has an LED light display, buttons, sensors and many input/output features that, when programmed, let it interact with you and your world.
Level 4 – Learning the next level of block-based coding using micro:bit and coding via MakeBlock
Codey Rocky is the robot that makes learning computer science, technology and 21st-century skills easy. Start programming right out of the box – no building required.
Level 5 – Learning to program Codey Rocky and its various functions (movement and sensors) using MBlock
Code.org, mBlock, and Machine Learning for Kids are the platforms that will be used in this level. They are beginner-level artificial intelligence tools that are easy to use due to their block-based nature.
Level 6 – Learning basic concept of A.I. and coding the A.I. projects through Code.org, mBlock and Machine Learning for Kids.
