  5. I can write code that adapts to new situations.

  1. I can use data from the RGB line sensor in a variety of ways in my code.

  2. I understand and can interact with RGB colors.

  3. I can adjust the direction of my robot based on data from the RGB line sensor.

  4. I can program my robot to ‘scan’ until it finds a goal state.

  1. I can combine multiple of the sensors I have learned about in the course.

  2. I can create a plan for completing a mission.

  3. I can prototype a design to solve a problem.

My 3 sons ages, 10 1/2, 9 and 7 started using Juni in early June 2020 and absolutely love it. The instructors are college age kids and they relate to my boys very well. My oldest is doing both the coding and math tracks and I feel like he will be way ahead of his 5th grade class come the fall. Once the other two are old enough I will certainly be enrolling them in math as well.

Juni has been amazing for my daughter. She is a reluctant learner when it comes to Computer Languages, but the Juni instructors have been engaging to her at a level where she feels comfortable with them and they manner in which they present the curriculum. They understood my ask that I Wanted her to start liking computer languages, and they are presenting the information in a way that is fun and relatable. I am very happy with my Juni experience and my daughter's journey with Juni so far!
