Description
The KaiBot Small Classroom Pack puts five robots and thirty numbered KaiTiles into a room — enough for around 10 students working in small-group rotation. Kai's Education suggests roughly one robot per three students, so this pack also stretches to a larger class if groups take turns at a station.
What's included:
- 5 x KaiBot robots with charging cables
- 2 x Advanced Coding Card sets (100 cards each)
- 1 x Charging Dock
- 1 x set of Magnetic KaiTiles, numbered 1 to 30
- 1 x Teacher Guide eBook
Running it in class:
- Uniquely numbered tiles can all sit on the same maze layout, so groups can build one large course or several small ones
- Advanced cards go well beyond basic movement, covering logic, functions, repeats, conditionals and variables
- Robots work screen-free, or paired with Kainundrum on iPad, Chromebook, PC or Mac
What students practise:
- Sequencing and debugging as a group, with the code laid out on the desk
- Reading and following each other's algorithms
- A path from unplugged cards through Blockly to Python
Over sixty CSTA-aligned lesson plans are available free from Kai's Education with an account. Purchase orders welcome from Australian schools.
