Course title: Learning Computer Science Concepts and Practices with Educational Robotics
Brief course description: Finch is a robot that can be coded to move on a surface to accomplish given goals. By using Finch with Snap! block-based programming, children will learn how to code a robot and learn science and math concepts! Children will be given ample opportunities to hone their skills and improve their understanding of computer science concepts and practices,
along with their conceptual understanding of geometrical shapes and life cycles. Starting to learn block-based coding will enhance students' critical thinking skills and raise students’ interest in STEM and Computer Science careers!

Course title: Integrating Engineering, Robotics and AI for STEM Learning
Brief course description: This 5-week course is designed to engage students who may not think robotics or Computer Science is “for them”. This course integrates the engineering design process with machine learning (image recognition, audio recognition, and recognition) using Google Teachable Machine and visual block-based coding (Snap!). We will use the Hummingbird robotics kit. By the end of the course, students will improve their knowledge and skill engineering, coding and machine learning and they will be informed about STEM and Computer Science careers. No prior experience in robotics is required!
Grade levels: Grades 4-5 (This is CLOSED)
