Coding Education Grant - Minnesota

Robots.Education recognizes the value of coding education, and believes it is important to bring this opportunity to as many students as possible. In addition to being a "key literacy", it is an excellent tool for developing 21st Century Skills such as problem solving and resiliency.

We are pleased to partner with RoboGarden on an initiative to bring coding education to Minnesota students.
​
​During the 2019-2020 school year, up to 60 elementary and middle schools from across the state will receive a School-Wide License for one year of RoboGarden’s Coding Software.  

What is RoboGarden?
​
RoboGarden is a fun and easy way for students to learn coding. 

Students are presented with a mission and use programming to solve the challenge.  Each time students are successful, they are presented with incrementally more complex challenges to solve.

Children begin learning to code through a "Blockly" drag-and-drop interface, and eventually transition to real-world coding languages like JavaScript and Python

The software is "self-directed" meaning that students can learn at their own pace, and that teachers don't need to be programmers to have success.  If the software detects that students have made a mistake in their coding, it provides hints to guide them to the solution.

RoboGarden is more than "coding software", it's a complete coding solution for students from grades 1 through 9. Lessons are built around NGSS principals and reinforce grade-level science and math curriculum.

The educator dashboard makes it easy for teachers and administrators to monitor student progress.
