STEAM and Computer Science with Robotics complements and reinforces mathematics through engaging learning experiences that integrate STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics), computer science, and engineering design through robotics. Reading and writing are integrated to develop academic language and strengthen mathematical communication and reasoning. Through hands-on activities using virtual and physical robots, students develop computational thinking, programming, engineering design, creativity, collaboration, communication, and real-world problem-solving skills while building the knowledge, skills, and confidence to become innovative problem-solvers, makers, and future technology leaders.
Engineering Design with Robotics is integrated throughout the curriculum, providing students with opportunities to Design, Build, and Program Their Own Robot Machines and apply the engineering design process through authentic projects and challenges.
Students engage in:
- Computational Storytelling
- Engineering Design with Robotics
- Design, Build, and Program Their Own Robot Machines
- Physical Computing with Arduino and Sensor-Based Robotics
- RoboParade™
- RoboEngineering Expo™
- RoboPlay™ Competitions
Students apply mathematics, science, engineering design, and computer science to solve authentic real-world problems while strengthening creativity, collaboration, communication, and computational thinking.
The STEAM and Computer Science with Robotics curriculum is designed to complement and reinforce RoboBlocky Math™ and existing mathematics curricula while also providing comprehensive STEAM and computer science learning experiences. Each course is carefully designed to support students' cognitive development and grade-level mathematical proficiency. No prior experience with coding, robotics, engineering design, or computer science is required.
Schools and districts may implement individual courses, complete pathways, or selected curriculum resources independently to meet local instructional goals or integrate them into existing mathematics, science, computer science, engineering design, STEAM, afterschool, expanded learning, makerspace, summer camp, CTE, and enrichment programs.
