By exploring the ways in
which robotics and coding
can be implemented in the
classroom, we hope to
deepen our understanding
of how it can be utilized to
enhance our teaching.
4. Project Goals
Work together to plan cross-divisional inquiries
related to robotics and coding
Deepen our understanding of how coding can be
utilized to enhance our teaching
Address related challenges such as student
engagement, differentiated instruction, and
student voice/choice
Create a resource bank which can be shared with
the rest of the staff
Increase the number of teachers utilizing iPads

6. What is coding?
• “Code is the list of instructions given to any
computer in order for it to perform the
desired actions. Every time you switch on a
PC, a mobile phone, a calculator, even a
microwave, code is being run.”
11. Why should we care about coding??
• We live in a world that is becoming more
reliant on technology every single day. Coding
is becoming an essential job skill in more than
just IT.
23. Primary: We Do Showcase
We explored the progression in
technology in 4 areas. We showed the
differences in party line and land line
telephones vs cell phones, radio shows vs
HD flat screen TVs, slower autos vs high-
tech food trucks, and brooms vs Roombas.
