Coding and Computational Thinking with VIRTUAL SPIKE Prime (3.0)
Learning to code with a Virtual SPIKE Prime using graphical blocks aligned to the 3.0 LEGO SPIKE Prime Programming App
Coding and Computational Thinking with VIRTUAL SPIKE Prime (3.0) provides a structured sequence of programming activities in real-world project-based contexts. The projects are designed to get students thinking about the patterns and structure of not just robotics, but also programming and problem-solving more generally. This curriculum includes videos, animations, and step-by-step lessons designed to help beginners learn behavior-based programming using the VIRTUAL SPIKE Prime and CMRA Blocks programming software, which have been updated to better align with the 3.0 version of the LEGO SPIKE Prime Programming App.
