Robotics and Programming Education
Coding vs Programming Coding is often confused with programming. Where coding is purely writing a program with instructions for the computer, programming is the whole process of identifying and analyzing the problem, coming up with a solution, coding and testing. Robotics and programming education is therefore mainly about students learning to design a solution for a particular problem and formulating it in such a way that a computer and/or robot can implement the solution. Robotics and programming in primary education Primary education is more about learning the way of thinking than actually teaching students how to code. Often students (with exceptions) only program with blocks in a graphical programming language: also called block programming. This is sufficient for primary school pupils. It is not necessary that they already master real programming languages. Robotic Education In primary schools, programming education is therefore often focused on the robot(s) and less on programmi
