Maze creator with Qobo

In the classes the children will learn the concept of programming through cards. They will practice creating movement sequences using pre-programmed cards and experiment with different cards to achieve different and specific results.

Introduction to Qobo and basic programming concepts

• Session 1: Presentation of Qobo and its capabilities. Explanation of the electronic blocks and how to interact with them.
• Session 2: Fundamentals of card programming. Introduction to basic commands and how to create motion sequences.

Construction of basic labyrinths

• Session 3: Design and construction of simple mazes using available materials.
• Session 4: Programming Qobo to navigate through basic mazes. Introduction to sensors and how to use them in programming.

Maze challenges

• Session 5: Development of more complex mazes with additional obstacles.
• Session 6: Practical challenges for Qobo, such as finding the exit of the maze in the shortest time possible or avoiding specific obstacles.

Introduction to programming logic

• Session 7: Advanced programming concepts, such as loops and conditionals.
• Session 8: Application of programming logic in the creation of more challenging mazes.

Final Project and Presentation

• Session 9: Group work to design and build a complex maze with specific challenges.
• Session 10: Presentation of the mazes created by the students. Reflection on what has been learned and the skills developed during the course.

• Printed material with activities and challenges.
• Access to the online platform to reinforce learning outside the classroom.
• Support from instructors trained in the use of Qobo and basic programming.

• Children will develop sequential and logical thinking skills by planning and executing Qobo programming.
• Children’s ability to identify problems, analyze situations and find solutions using the Qobo robot will be fostered.
• Students will have the opportunity to express their creativity by designing and building mazes.
• Through group activities and projects, children will learn to work in teams, share ideas and make decisions both collectively and individually.
• The development of verbal and non-verbal communication skills for sharing will be promoted.
• By interacting with their peers and collaborating on projects, children will learn to understand each other’s emotions and work together in a collaborative way.

• No previous knowledge of electronics or programming is required.
• It is recommended to have access to a Qobo kit and program modules to participate in the practical projects of the course.
