A lightweight curriculum pack that enables students to quickly learn the basics of robotics including navigation, sensors, loops and more.
The Novice Division
Introduce beginner students to the fundamentals of STEM - with no previous experience in coding or robotics required!
The Junior Division
Help students hone their cyber robotics skills. By advancing through missions, they unlock new challenges in a quest to get their virtual robots to the finals!
The Pro Division
Invite advanced students to collaborate and think creatively while learning next-level programming concepts, physics principles, and more.
Gamified Simulations
CoderZ features integrated 3D simulations of lifelike robots. Students apply principles of geometry and physics to solve virtual problems (missions), then plan, code, and debug programs to command their robots to move.
Smart Evaluation
The online learning environment is designed to let teachers differentiate their instruction by monitoring students’ work as they progress. Heat maps let you track trouble spots without standing over kids’ shoulders.
Cloud-Based Platform
Learn coding anywhere, anytime. CoderZ's cloud-based platform and student-centered activities lets kids take their learning with them. At home, in the classroom, outside, the sky's the limit (as long as there’s Wi-Fi!)
Visual Editor + Text
Starting with a visual programming interface is less intimidating, so students begin with Blockly before advancing to text-based Java and Python code behind the blocks. Any student grade 4 and up can use CoderZ without prior experience in robotics coding.
Real-Time Feedback
Live simulation provides immediate and specific feedback, guiding the learning and helping students become their own coach. Tools include: Heads Up Display (HUD), manual control, tracking trail, and visuals.
Self-Paced Learning
The low-floor, high-ceiling curriculum is designed to challenge students where they’re at—without comparing or competing. It provides accelerated kids with secret missions where they can soar, and scaffolded support for those who need more guidance.
