Creative Robotics Kit
Is a locally made, child user friendly robotics kit
that introduces the learners to robotics, critical thinking, and problem solving.
We are piloting this Robotics kits in the National Curriculum for Primary 4 and 5 to give SET teachers basic robotics skills to conduct hands-on robotics activities in classroom and capacity to apply robotics skills in problem solving.
Kit overview
This all-in-one kit introduces learners to object production, programming, electricity, and robotics, bridging classroom learning with practical, real-life applications.
Competencies gained after using this Kit
After using this kit and solving challenges, learners will be able to gain the following:
- Understand block programming.
- Think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.
- Apply robotics skills in solving real-world problems.
- Apply practical math, mechanical construction and critical thinking to make a simple robot.
- Link robotics lessons to real life.
