Dear Parents/Caregivers,

In week 6, Stage 2 will be learning about Code2Create. Code2Create allows students to connect with the latest Digital Technologies curriculum. Students will enjoy an engaging hands on session using the latest gadgets to introduce Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics (STEAM) curriculum. We start with the basics providing collaborative learning opportunities for students to problem solve and share their new learnings about coding.
Students will:
• Program robots to respond to instructions
• Build on your knowledge of game making through <code> using Scratch
• Smash up some apps and start creating

This 2-hour workshop provides access to a range of board games and robots (Dot and Dash, Sphero, BeeBots, BB8, Edison) to explore the principles of coding and create simple algorithms. In teams, students create obstacles and design products to assist the robots to complete tasks.

Dates: 22nd August (4H)1-3pm

25th August (3K) 9-11am

25th August (3/4N) 1-3pm
