Do not hesitate to consult the resources for years of study higher than yours, there are sixth grade activities that may be appropriate for the fourth and fifth years of primary school. All these resources are in English. You can also consult these resources sorted by robots/technological platforms. We update this document regularly.
You will find all the necessary material for these educational modules on our website:
Robotics in kindergarten
Robots are a fun educational platforms, very popular with children! Beyond a first discovery of how the new technologies that surround them work, using robots with the very young, they will learn :
- To work in a group
- To seek solutions to problems
- To develop their creative minds
- To count and familiarize with space locations
Makeblock Education website is full of resources you can use in your different workshops
As for the mBot robot, Ozobot offers a lot of resources for all ages and for educators
Modular robotics offers lessons for every grade (from Pre-K to to Grade 7-12)
To captivate and teach what's better than a bee robot?
Robotics in primary school
Children can continue to develop the skills learned with robots for kindergarten, they can start creating simple algorithms.
- The child who programs learn to objectify actions, by translating his thoughts into a program.
- He will learn to break down a problem into simple tasks.
- Some teachers even reported that programming made it easier to learn to read (structural logic).
Students will experience the interaction between the physical world and software through learning the course.

Robotics in high school
Now a must in private and professional life, IT has its place in high school. Robotics allows students to learn programming, but also electronics, design, problem solving, group work, etc… This is an area where many skills can be learned.
Robotics can be used as a course material (informatic, mathematics, technology, physics) but also be the subject of a project on which the teacher and students will work throughout the year.
The teachers who organize this kind of project notice each time an involvement of their class beyond the average and a true cohesion around these projects. It also allows students to learn about fields such as engineering, mechanics or electronics.

Robotics for higher education
Through robotics, students can explore fields other than programming, AI, or machine learning, such as mechanics, electronics, 3D printing, or computer science.
Robotics projects also allow students with different technological backgrounds to work together.
