Grades 2–5 | P3 / P4
Recommended Age: 7–10
Course Description
Explore the exciting world of computer science, coding, robotics, and artificial intelligence through hands-on LEGO building and programming!
Students will learn fundamental computer science concepts—including events, loops, conditionals, and variables—while designing, building, and programming LEGO robots using the LEGO Coding Canvas. Through interactive projects and hands-on challenges, students will develop computational thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork skills.
No prior coding or robotics experience is required. Students will learn step by step and apply what they learn to create, test, improve, and present their own projects.
What Students Will Learn
The course includes six units:
- Computer Science Basics, Events, Loops, Conditionals, Variables, AI & Data
Each unit includes four lessons followed by a design challenge, giving students an opportunity to apply their new skills to a hands-on project.
Students will work in teams of four throughout the course. They will collaborate to plan, build, program, test, troubleshoot, and improve their robots. At the end of each project, teams will have opportunities to demonstrate and present their designs.
Computers & Materials
Students will work in groups of four, with each group sharing one computer to design and program their robots using the LEGO Coding Canvas.
Computers will not be provided by CCLS. Each group should have at least one student bring a laptop or computer that can access the LEGO Coding Canvas through a web browser.
Instructors
David Guo, David is a high school freshman with a strong interest in STEM, robotics, and programming. He has participated in robotics competitions, where he has developed skills in problem-solving, programming, and teamwork. David has also gained teaching experience as a Teaching Assistant at CCLS. He enjoys hands-on, interactive projects and looks forward to helping students discover the fun of coding, robotics, and STEM.
Michael Cobb, Michael is a tenth-grade student who enjoys badminton and photography and has a strong interest in technology and coding. He is excited to share his knowledge with younger students and help them take their first steps into the world of programming. Michael hopes to make coding approachable, creative, and fun for every student.
乐高计算机科学、编程与人工智能
课程简介, 通过 LEGO搭建、编程、机器人和人工智能（AI），带孩子们探索充满乐趣的计算机科学世界！
本课程将通过动手实践和团队项目，帮助学生学习计算机科学的基础概念，包括事件（Events）、循环（Loops）、条件判断（Conditionals）和变量（Variables）。学生将使用 LEGO Coding Canvas 设计、搭建和编程 LEGO 机器人，在完成互动项目和设计挑战的过程中培养计算思维、逻辑思维、解决问题、创造力和团队合作能力。本课程无需编程或机器人方面的基础。学生将从基础知识开始，循序渐进地学习，并将所学知识应用到机器人设计、编程、测试、改进和展示中。
课程内容
课程包括六个学习单元：
- 计算机科学基础（Basics）
- 事件（Events）
- 循环（Loops）
- 条件判断（Conditionals）
- 变量（Variables）
- 人工智能与数据（AI & Data）
每个单元包含四节课程和一个设计挑战（Design Challenge）。学生将通过实际项目应用所学知识，将创意转化为可以运行和展示的作品。课堂中学生将以四人小组合作完成项目，共同进行设计、搭建、编程、测试、排错和改进。通过团队合作，学生不仅学习编程知识，也将培养沟通、协作和解决问题的能力。每个项目完成后，小组将有机会展示并介绍自己的作品。
电脑及学习用品
学生将以四人为一组，每组共用一台电脑，通过 LEGO Coding Canvas 设计和编程机器人。
CCLS不提供电脑。 每组至少需要有一名学生携带可以连接互联网的笔记本电脑或电脑，并能够通过网页浏览器使用 LEGO Coding Canvas。
