Description

Kick off the school year with robot code builder activities. These first day digital lessons introduce computer science concepts and encourage creative coding.

Teach students how to follow and decompose algorithms with these Build a Robot digital activities. 2 types of digital activities ask students to follow an algorithm to put a robot together and then look at a pre-built robot and type their own algorithm for it.

Use these activities as a crash course to understanding what an algorithm is, how to write one, follow one, and decompose one. I even included printable posters and vocabulary cards.
