G4S2 — Robot Masters

G4S2 — Robot Masters

Goal: Students tackle open-ended design challenges using EdBlocks (advanced) or EdScratch. Emphasis on the full engineering process as a repeatable professional skill, not just a classroom activity. Capstone project is student-designed.

Who’s in the room: Mix of returning Class 5 students and new-to-the-grade students. Session 1 accessible to all. New students may be at EdBlocks level while returning students use EdScratch — that’s expected and fine.

Programming level: Level 4 (EdBlocks 16–23) for new-to-grade students; Level 5 (EdScratch Units 1–4) for returning students

Key activities: EdScratch loops + conditionals, geometry challenge, Operation: Neko Prime (if not done), capstone project
