The program is structured in such a way that from simple concepts and small constructions, by the end they will be able to program, give movement and “feel” to their models.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Children will learn and understand the basic building blocks of a structure, while at the same time being able to understand their usefulness in the real world. Then, with these tools in their hands, they will be able to “build” more complex models by adding movement. They begin to work on new components such as batteries, motors and sensors.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the children have mastered the role of the little engineer, they are introduced to the field of programming. A robot must obey commands. And how is this to be done? They learn the first programming concepts with the WeDo 2.0 software. The WeDo 2.0 environment is suitable for young children, as they learn with pictorial programming, making it feel like a game.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_message message_box_color=”turquoise” icon_type=”entypo” css=”” icon_entypo=”entypo-icon entypo-icon-star”]Objectives of the program<\/b><\/p>\n
