Session description

In this session, we are going to explore STEAM learning solutions for PK-5s thru hands-on coding robots! How the coding robot tools being used in young kids' class? What students can get through these classes.

Purpose & objective

In this session, we are going to exploring STEAM learning solutions for PK-5s thru hands-on coding robots. Matatalab tangible programming language is suitable
for children aged 3 to 9. Rather than using pictures andwords on a computer screen, it uses physical buttonsor physical blocks to represent various programmingelements, commands, and flow-of-control structures, to code. By arranging and connecting these buttons orblocks, children can create programs and control a robot’s behavior.This isn’t about teaching young children programming, the idea is to give them technological confidence and encourage computational thinking through play.
