Course Content
At this level, children begin exploring robotics and programming with the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Essential set. They build various robot models, discover how motors and sensors work, and learn to control their robots using text-based programming in Scratch.
The Essential level consists of three modules: Motion, Sensors, and Logic. The modules can be taken in any order and together form a complete Essential robotics program.
Language: Dutch & English
What will you learn?
-
Motion
Movement and Control
This module focuses on movement: how robots move and how you can control that movement using code. -
Sensors
Perceiving and Responding
Here, children discover how robots can use information from their environment and respond to it. -
Logic
Thinking and Decision-Making
This module focuses on logic: teaching robots to make choices, repeat actions, and handle situations more intelligently.
Robotics & Mechanics
Children build and program different robot models with LEGO® SPIKE™ Essential. They discover how parts and mechanisms work together and how forces, motion, and transmissions affect their robot's behavior.
Through experimentation, they learn to make their robots smarter and more efficient and develop their technical understanding.
Programming with Scratch
Children learn to code with Scratch in the LEGO® SPIKE™ app. Using visual programming blocks, they give their robots commands, make them move, and have them respond using sensors.
They use logic and repetition to discover, step by step, how programming works. In this way, they develop their logical thinking and problem-solving skills through play.
