👨👩👧 Notes for parents
🧩 New to block coding? Read the short parent guide — no coding background needed. →Age: Grades 1–3 (ages 6–9) Duration: 15–20 minutes Format: Web game — drag blocks to write a real program (Blockly) Concept: Block Programming — kids combine turn left/right blocks with move forward
Learning Objective
Kids use turn left/right blocks with move forward — understanding that the robot walks "in the direction IT is facing," not a direction on the screen.
Do It Together (Parent-Child Co-participation)
Have your child stand up and BE the robot: you read out their blocks (move forward, turn left...) and they act them out — "turning relative to yourself" clicks instantly.
