Coding With Bricks | LEGO Based Education For Kids
This course helps students learn the basics of coding, math and computation using regular LEGO® bricks.
Description
Bring out the best of your LEGO® bricks with this course aimed at building a foundation for coding. Targeted at parents with children aged 5-7 years old, this course is best suited for homeschooled students or children with an idle set of LEGO® bricks. WIth hands-on activities including LEGO® construction and interactive games to explain complex topics like Navigation, Sudoku, Cryptography and Tangram. This course is a fun way to explore these concepts easily and at your own pace. All four sections require students to unlock creative thinking and logical reasoning skills.
Specifically, in Brick Crypto students will understand the concept of sending ‘secret’ messages through the method of encryption and decryption by creating their own LEGO bricks secret code.
Brick Navigation will help students understand sequential designing of a simple algorithm that traces the path of a physical and virtual bot from start to finish on a maze.
Students will learn problem-solving by finding the solutions to a creative and colorful version of the age-old numerical puzzle: the Sudoku.
Finally, they will learn problem-solving, lateral thinking and computational brute-force method by solving the original, and subsequently brick, versions of the historical Tangram puzzle.
It is important to note that the course is to be accessed by parents or guardians of children that may be interested to take up a basic course about coding.
