Robotics and Coding
Embark on an exciting journey with our ‘Robotics and Coding’ course in the Erasmus teacher training program. Dive into the world of technology to empower your teaching with innovative coding and robotics skills.
The ‘Robotics and Coding’ course, a standout offering in the Erasmus teacher training program, is tailored to equip educators with the foundational skills and knowledge in the rapidly evolving fields of robotics and computer coding. This course is particularly valuable for teachers who aim to integrate cutting-edge technology into their classrooms, thereby enhancing student engagement and learning in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).
The course begins with an introduction to the basics of coding – the language and process used to communicate with computers. Participants will learn about different programming languages, with a focus on those most accessible and relevant to educational settings, such as Scratch, Python, or JavaScript. The course will cover fundamental coding concepts like algorithms, loops, and conditional statements, enabling educators to understand and teach basic programming skills.
In addition to coding, the course delves into the world of robotics. Educators will explore how robotics can be used as an effective tool to teach a variety of subjects, including mathematics, science, and technology. The course will provide hands-on experience with educational robotics kits, allowing participants to learn how to build and program robots. This practical experience is designed to build confidence in educators, regardless of their previous experience with technology.
A significant aspect of the course is the pedagogical approach to teaching robotics and coding. Educators will learn how to design curriculum and lesson plans that incorporate robotics and coding in a way that is engaging and accessible to students. The course will cover methods to foster problem-solving skills, creativity, and collaboration among students through technology-based projects.
Furthermore, the course will address the challenges of integrating technology into the classroom, including resource limitations, varying levels of student access to technology, and ensuring inclusivity in tech education. Participants will explore strategies to overcome these challenges, ensuring all students have the opportunity to benefit from learning about robotics and coding.
By the end of the course, participants will have a solid foundation in both coding and robotics. They will be prepared to introduce these subjects to their students in a way that is both educational and exciting, fostering an environment of innovation and exploration in the classroom
