What is the language of code?
As part of the Grade 1 curriculum, students are introduced to the concept of coding, and learn to write and execute simple code with a focus on creating effective instructions.
The concept of coding is initially introduced in an analogue way. Through trial and error, students learn how to give instructions to accomplish a task. Once they have grasped this concept, students apply their knowledge to program two robots called Dash and Dot to practice sequencing and operations. Once they are comfortable with basic programming, they use block code to guide Dash and Dot through mazes made of LEGO.
