Student Sessions

Description: During these 30-45 minute interactive, virtual sessions, students learn coding concepts and put them into ACTION, seeing their code control REAL robots, live! 

​

  • Ideal for grades 3-12, beginner or intermediate level students. 

  • These sessions require NO pre-teaching or prep from teachers. 

  • Students join the session using the link provided from individual computers or Chromebooks. 

  • During the session, students chat with hosts Kelsey and Matt the Robot while helping robot characters solve problems using the coding concepts they learn.

  • Think of these like a virtual field trip or an interactive TV show! 

  • Up to 400 students can join a session at once, so invite a whole class, grade, or school to share the experience!

  • Attend 1 session, or all 3! Each session teaches different concepts.

  • The sessions will also introduce the Computing Challenge and help students generate ideas for using Coding For Good to enter the Challenge!
