Snap blocks together. Bring robot ideas to life.
Pair hands-on robot building with Scratch coding. Explore playful models and their matching code activities while building foundations for later AI learning.
A little project.
A bigger discovery.
Every model gives your child something to make, something to notice and a new question to explore.
A build with a matching code lesson
Explore the physical model and its corresponding coding activity.
Connect design and code
Follow an insect-inspired build and investigate its code.
Build, code and test
Use the paired model and code lessons as a starting point for experimentation.
Curiosity comes first.
Understanding grows with every try.
Get connected
Start with remote control ID, the coding guide and the level part list.
Build a model
Follow the course model guides for the matching 402 kit.
Explore its code
Pair a build with its corresponding Scratch code activity.
Test a new idea
Change a command, observe the response and refine the program.
See your code become a real-world response.
Practise following a guide, solving a problem and explaining what happened. Rebuilding gives each idea another chance.
Something to build.
A way to understand it.
The curriculum pairs individual robot models with code lessons, so building and programming stay connected.
