Description
Using the same kit as that of grade KG, the coded blocks are used in grade 1 in addition to all the tools already available to the learners. This furthers the learners’ understanding of technology with the addition of powered mechanics into simple structures. Students are introduced to switches and automation to help drive operations more swiftly. This also allows room for discussion and design thinking to help formulate creative solutions to problems.
- Follows the engineering design sequence: Define the Problem, Design and Plan, Share, and Reflect
- Learners work in collaborative teams
- Same kit as Grade K but also uses inputs (e.g., sensors) and outputs (e.g., lights) to make smart machines
