After registration for the course, our team will send the robotics kits to your home. Once you receive the kit we will set up time with your kid to the regular classes.
What is the difference between STEM, Coding and Robotics??When we talk about STEM labs, lots of terms are used interchangeably (STEM, engineering, coding, computer science, robotics). All of these things interact but they are not same:
STEM
STEM (or STEAM) is Science, Technology, Engineering, (Art,) and Math. The idea behind STEM is that all of these things are interconnected and easily combined into one program. The biggest thing to consider when creating a STEM Lab is the goal for the space. You can have all of the aspects of STEM hold equal weight or have some parts support a main subject. What you put in that space will greatly depend on that goal.
Coding
Coding is how we tell computers what to do. There are different coding languages, such as, block-based coding, which is a way to introduce coding in a more manageable way before learning the text-based languages.
Robotics
Robots are intended to do a job and operate on their own, while typically pure computer science involves an input of some kind and it does something in response to that input. Obviously, as you add sensors to robots, the line between these two get a little fuzzy. Not to mention that most robots in schools are used for learning to code.
Conclusion
Often you’ll see all of these things coexisting and interacting in a STEM Lab or Makerspace. They all blend together well within a STEM curriculum. Knowing the differences between STEM, Computer Science, coding, and robotics, however, can make it easier to define the goals for your school or classroom and help you create a more productive space for learning. In our course, kids learn the basics of coding and learn how to build Robots, design games, apps and animations.
