I had the privilege of talking to first graders at the local elementary school about coding and robots for STEM Day! This was extra special because one of them happens to be my kiddo. 😀 I used Dash robots (graciously provided by the engineering teacher) to demonstrate how we communicate with computers and instruct them – one command at a time – to accomplish tasks.
Dash drove around, played a Xylophone, drew on paper, played sounds, catapulted a ball, and more. Using the drag and drop programming interface of the Wonder app was a great tool for this age range, and I think they had as much fun as I did.
