Dash robots are an introductory robotic tool that can be used to teach basic levels of coding for elementary students. Learn how educational robots, such as Dash, can be used to teach content-area standards in real-world STEM/STEAM challenges.
Audience: | Curriculum/district specialists, Teachers, Technology coordinators/facilitators |
Skill level: | Beginner |
Attendee devices: | Devices not needed |
Focus: | Digital age teaching & learning |
Topic: | Computer science and computational thinking |
Grade level: | PK-5 |
Subject area: | Math, STEM/STEAM |
ISTE Standards: | For Students: Computational Thinker
Designer
|
Additional detail: | Student presentation |
The purpose of this session is to demonstrate how multiple content area standards can be woven with engineering design challenges in an elementary classroom. In addition, we will demonstrate how engineering design challenges can incorporate computational thinking skills with robotic tools such as Dash. This session will provide an example of a unit plan that was designed and implemented in second grade classrooms with pre-service teachers. We will share the challenges and success of this unit from both the teacher and the student perspective.
