The Spike program is used on the computer or tablet to program your robot and control it. The program is very easy and relies on a simple visual interface that allows you to drag and drop commands and movements onto the robot. You can move it, turn on the motors, read information from the sensors, and make exciting movements.
The best thing about this curriculum is that it develops a creative way of thinking in children and teaches them how to solve programming problems. It teaches the child how to think in an engineering way, gather ideas and implement them practically. And most importantly, you will see the robot you built execute your program and make amazing movements.
So this curriculum is a very exciting educational experience. You will find yourself enjoying yourself while learning science and technology and developing your programming and engineering skills.
The curricula are designed in the form of a series (in each episode, the heroes of the series face a problem) where the training session proceeds as follows:
1 Brainstorming is done between the trainer and the students to reach solutions to the problem.
2. These solutions are compared and the best solution for this situation is settled on.
3.It is applied practically in the form of small groups, and this is because: by designing robots with specific shapes and giving them Programming commands via the computer to achieve the desired goal
and that Develop:
3-1 Problem Solving Skills
3-2 Critical Thinking Skills،
3-3 (Design Thinking Skills).
4 .. The latest technologies are used to ensure a suitable learning environment for children. The Gamification principle is used, which is the application of game technology elements in a non-game setting. This includes: Each session includes some carefully selected intelligence games (played during the students’ break time) to develop (problem-solving skills), train them to be patient with the outcome and to keep trying to reach the desired solutions.”
Students are also qualified to participate in world championships and obtain advanced positions in them, which opens up travel opportunities for them and facilitates scholarships, as happened with some of Tekatech students
