Instruction cards, mazes and human-robot games that introduce sequencing without screens.
First projects in Blockly: repeat, wait and simple event blocks.
If-then thinking through a sorting game and a traffic-light build.
Each child designs a short interactive scene and tests it with a classmate.
Presentation to parents plus a printed skills certificate.
What we provide
Campus laptop or kit during sessions, all software licences, printed workbook and lesson recordings for online cohorts.
