Introduction to Automation is designed for elementary students where, through teamwork around the construction of a robotic model that interacts with the real world in real time, children live an exciting and entertaining experience that they do not want to end!<\/p>\n

Each construction follows a “code” that is the product of the students’ computational thinking and is realized in the digital environment of MIT Scratch 2.0.<\/p>\n

The whole creating process is done with the LEGO WEDO 2.0 and involves children in practical, active, teamwork, helping them to gain knowledge and linguistic skills through asking questions, looking for patterns, choosing strategies, and drawing conclusions.<\/p>\n

Purpose of the program<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The purpose of the Introduction to Automation is the fascinating learning of science, technology, engineering and mathematics(S.T.E.M.), practically without theories and unnecessary terminology, and methods of problem analysis and solving. At the same time, it is possible to develop skills of ingenuity, algorithmic & programming models and team spirit demonstration.[\/vc_message][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_message]<\/p>\n
