At GEMS Robotic for Kids and coding for kids program, students learn through hands-on experiences. They are introduced to basic to advance learning concept such as Algorithm,  Conditionals statement, Loops, Variables and Sequences through coding languages that program the way a kid thinks. Initially they use built in Robots to learn these concepts and then start building Robots.

As the students progress in the Robotic for kids – Coding for kids program, they will be pushed to implement scientific knowledge of simple machines, forces and nature it self to improve the performance of robots that they themselves will build. They are introduced to Robotics and coding concept at a high level of abstraction, where, rather than focusing on complex electronics concepts, we look at the functionality of robotics and programming. Technologies used in robotics such as power sources, motors and sensors are engineered into a working robot by the students, which they learn to control with visually interactive programming software. While programming the robots, students will learn computer science concepts such as conditional operations, loops, algorithmic thinking, event handling and debugging, for a high level of control. In turn, they will also use mathematical concepts such as measurements of speed and angles to control robotic movements with precision.

​Throughout the Robotics for Kids – Coding for kids programs, students are challenged in class through guided assignments and creative design projects so they can put their newly learned skills to the test. At GEMS, our students will also have the opportunity to compete in the different internal and external Robotics Competition, where they will compete with students their age worldwide.
