Our Pitch
Robot Week is an interactive unit designed to introduce first graders to the foundations of computer science through play, creativity, and collaboration. Our mission is to help young learners develop problem-solving skills, logical thinking, and confidence with technology—through movement-based, hands-on activities.
By blending coding concepts like sequencing, decomposition, and input/output with engaging games and storytelling, Robot Week makes computational thinking accessible and fun. Students don’t just learn how robots work—they experience what it means to think like a programmer.
Throughout the week, learners work together, move their bodies, and express their ideas through both technology and language. With every laugh, leap, and line of code, students gain a deeper understanding of how to break down problems, follow steps, and explore the world of robotics with joy and purpose.
The Standards
We built lesson plans based on CSTA Standards 1A-AP-08 and 1A-AP-11. These standards focus on students learning to create and follow step-by-step instructions. They can be viewed here.
Model daily processes by creating and following algorithms (sets of step-by-step instructions) to complete tasks.
Decompose (break down) the steps needed to solve a problem into a precise sequence of instructions.
