Program Description
In the second course of this track, you will learn and practice fundamental coding concepts with a combination of two platforms: Kodable and Shapetracer by Ozobot.
Starting with Kodable, the award-winning coding curriculum used in almost 190 countries, you will go through logical puzzles and challenges and learn new concepts as you proceed.
For the second part of the course, you will use a virtual Ozobot robot. The Ozobot robot is a small programmable robot that can detect colors and follow directions depending on the paths created by users. You will use a block-based coding language to code your robot and make it move on your screen in a 2D environment. You will also learn about the different types of robots we can find in real-life.
