Robotics & AI (Starter)
micro:bit, motors + chassis, line tape, basic sensors. MakeCode blocks — no soldering.
Tier 1 • Ages 8–12
Start here: build curiosity with safe, hands-on projects.
Tier 1 focuses on foundations. Learners complete short Daily Levels (10–30 minutes): a bite-size lesson, a hands-on task (kit or cloud tool), then an evidence upload. Auto-checks keep things simple; mentors review key checkpoints.
Tier 1 Modules
Four pillars — designed for ages 8–12.
Automotive Design (Foundations)
Sketch silhouettes, water-based clay models, simple 3D in Tinkercad.
Coding & Games (Visual)
Scratch / MakeCode Arcade. Events, loops, scoring — publish a mini-game link.
AR/VR (Intro)
CoSpaces / WebXR with a Merge Cube or printable cube; simple interactions.
Daily Levels → Evidence → Level-up
Short, kid-friendly steps with guardrails and feedback.
1
Watch / Read
10–30 min lesson: clear goal + safety notes.
2
Hands-on Task
Do it with your kit or cloud tool (Scratch / Tinkercad / CoSpaces).
3
Upload Evidence
Photo/video/link. Auto-checks: file type, clarity, recency, fields.
4
Mentor Checkpoint
Every 3–5 levels: rubric review → badge & unlock.
Sample Starter Roadmap (2–3 weeks per pillar)
Evidence gates ensure real progress.
| Pillar | Levels | Evidence | Checkpoint |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robotics | Meet your robot → Move! → See the line → Follow line | Photos + 10–15s videos + code screenshot | Line-follow challenge |
| Automotive | Silhouette → Proportion lines → Clay volume → Wind test | Photos (3-angle) + 1 short clip | Mini review board |
| Coding | Scene → Movement → Collisions → Score | Screenshot + playable link | Playtest feedback |
| AR/VR | Place objects → Color/scale → Tap-to-spin → Diorama | Two screenshots + 10–15s video | Comfort & safety quiz |
