  3. I can build a working robot.

  4. I can use basic commands to program my robot.

  5. I can interpret commands in an existing script.

  6. If I can’t interpret a command, I know how to determine what it does.

  1. I can use event listeners to control my robot.

  2. I can iterate on code.

  3. I can control my robot's movement in a variety of ways.

  4. I can experiment with movement controls, and know when each movement control is appropriate.

  5. I can expand my skills into other contexts.

  6. I can adapt my code for specific circumstances.

  1. I can create and execute a plan.

  2. I can use data from the Ultrasonic sensor to determine how far my robot is from an obstacle.

  3. I know the benefits of using sensors as opposed to coding specific commands.

  4. I know the philosophy behind solving any maze.

  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.

  4. I can create a version 1 of my prototype.

  5. I can iterate on my prototype as necessary.

  6. I can modify my robot with household items.

Instructors will assign students roughly 60 minutes of project related homework at the end of each session. Homework is designed to complement the class experience and ensure the student continues to gain practical experience outside of the session.

Completion of Python 1 and a Makebot Robot (special Juni deal is $95 and is charged after signup). If your learner doesn't meet these requirements, see Robotics in Scratch.

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!
