Product description

Codey Rocky is an easy-to-start-with robot for learning computer science and technology in combination with 21st century skills. Start programming right out of the box, no building required. Codey Rocky supports block-based and Python programming as well as cutting edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things.

Content overview

In this course, a combination of software and hardware is adopted to stimulate children’s confidence in creating and interest in programming. It also encourages collaboration among students through team activities. The course features unplugged coding activities, that allow students to learn programming through games. Even without a computer, teachers can still demosntrate the basics of computer science with the help of unplugged coding activities.
The course materials comprise a teacher’s book, a student’s book, a self assessment form for students and a list of conditionals for practice.
