Scratch Week 2022: Learn coding robot with Lego

Hi everyone,

Thanks for connecting and reading this article. You are valuable members of this community.

Scratch week 2022:

Since year 2022 is moving and that May is starting, I wanted to remind about an event that happen every year in May for 15 year year. For those of you who do not know what Scratch coding is, it is a online community platform where your children can learn how to code a video game, how to learn coding fast, create a animated story and more.

Live coding event

So it's Scratch week from May 15th to May 21st 2022. I want to enjoy this moment to spend some time with you live on learn how to code and see the basics of coding. One thing I want to mention is that scratch is a coding language that uses blocks. Meaning you can use the blocks to code. And it's easy to learn coding for younger kids. We are talking kids who know how to read (7 years old and more).

Come join this live event with your children if you love STEM. It will focus on the basis of coding

This will be an online show and Tell where I will explain step-by-step what coding is, how to implement coding and then test it. It's going to be fun!!! You do not need previous knowledge to join us.

Material

All you need is:

• A computer

• An internet connection

• A browser installed on your computer

• And a Facebook account and click on going to event to receive notification

• No need a Lego robot on your side. The implementation will be done with ours

STEM program for the kids - Robotics coding

In this Show and tell, will see:

• What is Scratch

• What is coding

• Introduction to Lego for robotics

• How to implement coding

• Exercises

• And test our code

• Test the Lego robot, motor and sensors

Date and time of the online event

If your children are somehow between 8 and 12 years old and are desire to learn how to code a robot from scratch. Come join us for 40 minutes from 4 pm to 4:40 pm on:

• Sunday, May 15th 2022.

The class will be on Facebook live. Make sure you register to the event and also share the information with your family and friends so their children can see robotics coding with Scratch.

Future STEM program for the kids and STEM summer program

More online STEM program for kids and STEM camp are coming this summer such as:

• Learn how to code with python

• Create video games

• Make a drone from scratch

• Drone coding

• Learn how to code online

• How to make your own drone

• Electronics

• Hands-on craft

• Learn how to use 3D modeling

STEM videos for elementary students

While waiting for the event, you can check this video on a robot coding kit (Lego in our case) to have a quick idea of Result we can have with robotics coding.
