Exploring the World of Programming and Robotics in K5!

Kindergarten 5 students have begun working on robotics through a variety of challenges that allowed them to reinforce concepts learned last year. Through unplugged activities, they worked in teams to decode cards with coded instructions and create paths based on specific commands.

These types of activities help them understand the importance of commands and patterns in problem-solving and achieving goals—all while having fun and learning! They are also developing key IB learner profile attributes, such as being thinkers, as they take on challenges to solve problems; inquirers, as they explore different strategies; communicators, as they explain processes; risk-takers, as they are willing to try; and reflective, as they review their work together as a team.

We will continue working throughout the year, adding more challenges that will prepare them to apply these concepts with the small robots that will accompany us along the way.

Los alumnos  de Kinder 5 comenzaron a trabajar en  robótica con distintos  desafíos que les permitieron reforzar conceptos aprendidos el año pasado.  A través de actividades desconectadas, trabajaron en equipo para decodificar cartas con instrucciones en código y crear recorridos basados en comandos específicos. 

Este tipo de actividades les ayuda a comprender la importancia de los comandos y patrones en la resolución de problemas y el logro de metas, desarrollando algunos atributos del perfil IB  como por ejemplo: pensadores  porque se animan a resolver  problemas.  Indagadores porque exploran  distintas estrategias, comunicadores porque logran explican procesos, audaces porque se animan a probar y reflexivos  porque en equipo revisan lo que hicieron

Continuaremos trabajando a lo largo del año sumando más desafíos que los prepararán para poner en práctica estos conceptos con los pequeños robots que nos acompañarán a lo largo del año.
