Inspire STEAM Coding and Robotics

Changing STEAM education with 4iR technologies.

Our Inspire STEAM Coding and Robotics curriculum offers students thorough theoretical training and hands-on experience with real-world coding and robotics applications. It also provides comprehensive training for educators, supported by an extensive range of online videos and resources. This curriculum features the micro:bit based Inspire Bot and iSense, 3D modelling, digital citizenship, and various application software to teach block – and text-based coding.

Designed to support teachers, the curriculum includes lesson plans, learner worksheets, assessment options, and additional resources. It is suitable for students from Grade R – 9. Here is an overview of the five strands within the curriculum:

The Five Strands of our Inspire STEAM Coding and Robotics Curriculum

Pattern Recognition and Problem-solving

Identify abstract and geometric patterns contributing to problem solving.

Internet and E-Communication

Promoting Digital Citizenship through introducing online safety and exploring ML (Machine Learning) and AI (Artificial Intelligence).

Algorithms and Coding

Introduce block coding using Scratch and DroneBlocks, progressing to Python programming for coding and game creation.

Application
