Coding is not just for engineers. Children will relish the process of writing code – either in text based editor or a graphical interface like scratch or blockly or Python, programmable micro-computer that can be used for all sorts of cool creations, from robots to musical instruments. This has been widely used in schools around the world.
STEMians design their required characters or models in 3D design softwares. STEM introduces advanced 3D printing techniques where students will explore possibilities in a variety of disciplines.
Robotics is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering and science that includes mechanical engineering, computer science and others. Kids can learn about sensors, motors and simple coding. They can learn programming in an intuitive way to bring their creations to life.
Objects that we make use of everyday (Refrigerator, garbage bin, bulb, even toy) are connected to Internet, which helps them communicate with each other and to us. Even 4th grade students do IOT. Keep your kids entertained and engaged by helping them construct their own toys, code into the toy, etc.
Coding is just a language to talk to machines and tell them what to do. Students can give an input to the machines and make them act accordingly. That’s what machine learning is all about. We all come across hundreds of machine learning processes everyday in our life. Artificial Intelligence is the next big thing. It’s important that we sow seeds in the minds of the next generation of technologists.
