PROBLEM SOLVING AND CREATIVE DESIGN WITH SPHERO AND DASH

Challenge Yourself Through Block Based Programming

Scratch, Code.org and other Block Based Programming tools are programming environments which allows students to easily create animations, stories, and interactive games.  

Block Based Programming teach critical thinking and problem solving through Lego-like blocks.  These tools simulate traditional programming, by providing learners with a simple visual drag-and-drop user interface. This visual nature allow students to test different ideas, approaches to a problem, and more easily learn what works and what does not.

Age Range: approximately 7 - Adult
