CoderZ Adventure with LEGO® Education SPIKE™Prime
It’s time to pack your bags and dive into the world of STEM, coding, and robotics—no experience necessary! This intro course takes kids on a journey through 10 virtual CoderZ destinations where they’ll learn how to program and navigate a virtual robot using Blockly. Lessons include CS, basic math, geometry, project development, and soft skills. Gamified missions break up the lessons into bite-sized chunks to set a comfortable learning pace.
Includes teaching guide with: solutions, reflective questions, formative assessment suggestions, quizzes, instructional videos, knowledge base, and class management tool!
Who this course is for: Teachers and students grades 4-6, without prior coding or robotics knowledge, but with an open and curious mind.
Self-paced, gamified activities with real-time feedback and step-by-step instructions

Students’ Outcome
Сourse Outline and Learning Objectives
Adventures Peak
Introduction to coding, robotics, and motion planning with ‘drive distance’ and ‘turn’ instructions.
Frozen Island
Students dive deeper into programming by gathering data using basic math, then explain their code with comments.
The Lost City
Students learn to use the distance measuring tool and navigation tools such as ‘wait’ and ‘repeat’.
Crystal Crater
Students use the ‘turn block’ angle parameter to add or subtract and compute the required degrees to turn their robot.
Candy Town
Students use the digital measuring tool to discover the radius of a circle and the degrees of an angle.
Sketch It
Students code the robot to write their initials, trace an ice-cream cone, and create a custom mandala
The Milky Way
Students use all the skills acquired throughout the course in a creative way. Coding for fun!
Weebo’s Manor
Students use the robot’s distance sensor to create programs that can adapt to unpredictable environments.
Cyber Blocks
Students use 'push blocks' to remove obstacles in their environment and practice logical problem solving.
Arctic Lab
Students instruct their robots to use 'push blocks', and coordinate with the helicopter-bot.
