Rev up STEAM learning with the indi robot (“indi”)--an entry level robot designed to introduce early learners to the fundamentals of computational thinking, STEAM, and computer science principles.
indi encourages open-ended, imaginative play-based learning with real-life scenarios as learners build custom mazes, solve puzzles, and drive.
indi offers an unplugged experience with an on-board colour sensor. Students can also kick their programming skills into high gear with more learning options in the free Sphero Edu Jr app.
The Importance of Computational Thinking
Before young learners can begin to learn a programming language or assemble computer hardware, they need to learn how to think creatively to solve complex logical problems. The key to preparing young learners to grow up computer science literate is to reinforce computational thinking.
Computational thinking is the thought process involved in finding solutions for complex problems. Often Hello! Introduction computational thinking is associated with computer science and programming but can be taught in the absence of any technology.
As young learners develop their computational thinking they are able to think more logically and articulate problems better. As students learn pattern recognition, creating and using algorithms, decomposition, and understanding abstraction they will become better thinkers and problem solvers.
