Boogie Bot is a fun and interactive learning app which will introduce kids to computer programming using Blockly - Google's visual programming language.
In this app kids will program a robot to dance while they learn the basics of coding. Boogie Bot makes learning easy by engaging kids in an interactive way which will provide creativity as well as structure, both of which foster learning.
Visual coding has been proven to be a preferred way of learning to code by leading universities. Powered by Blockly, this app will help kids learn the programming logic and concepts before diving into complex syntax.
This app is popular in many schools across the country.
What will kids learn -
---------------------
* Algorithmic Thinking – a way of getting to a solution through the clear definition of the steps.
* Sequential Processing – involves consecutive and ordered execution of code.
* Parallel Processing – involves the concurrent or simultaneous execution of code.
* Pattern Recognition and Looping – a way of identifying similarities between things and using loops to repeat them instead of specifying them again and again.
* Conditional Statement – a set of rules performed if a certain condition is met.
* Abstraction – a way of separating and hiding the complex part of the instruction.
* Use of variables – a more advanced concept that allows you to maintain information which can be retrieved by its name.
What can kids do:
------------------
- Learn to code with coding blocks.
- Understand programming concepts.
- Learn to think algorithmically and use advanced concepts.
- Earn coins for a job well done.
- Take video recording of the dance they create.
