Coding for kids lessons

The lessons start with an introduction on how to use the basic commands. We gradually advance to more complex challenges covering new Computer Science concepts along the way.

Getting a robot

If you still do not have a robot to play, check how you can get one here. Alternatively, you may want to use one of our remote robots to run online classes. Check how you can use BluPants for remote learning here.

Remote Learning - Localization Lesson

BluPants allows students to learn coding with a real robot either in person, or remote. In this lesson, we use the distance sensor to check how close the robot is from an object, and use repetition loops to navigate to the goal. This whole lesson is performed on the BluPants Remote Lab to demonstrate how schools can provide a very high quality eLearning experience on robotics and coding.

Lesson 1: Move Forward

Move the robot one square forward.

Lesson 2: Move forward 2 squares

Robotics for kids: Move the robot two squares forward by combining multiple command blocks.

Lesson 3: Pick-up

Learn how to pick-up objects with your robot.

Lesson 4: Pick-up and drop

Hour of code: Learn how to pick-up an object with your robot and deliver it to the goal.

Lesson 5: Transport block

Robotics for kids: Learn how to transport objects with your robot to anywhere you want. That is a perfect coding for kids challenge that can be used on a hour of code engagement.

Lesson 6: Loops

Coding for kids: Learn how to use repetition loops to make your robot go a full lap around the course.
