Program Cuti Sekolah Roboskool 2.0: A Fun & Educational 3-Week Journey!

From January 21st to February 7th, 2025, Roboskool hosted the highly anticipated Program Cuti Sekolah Roboskool 2.0, a 3-week educational program filled with creativity, fun, and hands-on learning. The program was designed for two categories of students: Tinkerbeam (ages 6-8) and Decode (ages 9+). Over the three weeks, the kids got to explore the world of robotics, programming, design, and more (developing new skills, building exciting projects, and having an unforgettable experience)!

Tinkerbeam: Ages 6-8

Week 1 Highlights

• Programming Coding: The young learners kicked off the program with Botley the robot, creating their very own Snake Game through coding. They had a blast watching their code come to life!
• Lego Wedo: The students worked on a Recycle Project, combining creativity and sustainability with LEGO pieces. It was amazing to see their eco-friendly creations!
• Biology (Animal and Plant Cells): The little scientists got a chance to observe animal and plant cells under the microscope, diving into hands-on experiments to understand biology better.
• Electronic DIY Art Bot: The mini competition had students building their very own Art Bots! The competition encouraged creativity and teamwork as they crafted their bots and made art with them.
• Creative Design (3D Pen): The students got to design and create their very own houses using 3D pens—an exciting way to bring their architectural ideas to life!

Week 2 Highlights

• Programming Coding: Botley was back, and this time, the kids learned how to make it draw shapes using code. It was a great opportunity to understand geometry and creativity in action!
• Lego Wedo: Students built a Dancing Robot, combining engineering and art as their robots moved to the beat of their own drum.
• Scratch Jr. (Underwater Game): The kids worked on coding a game where characters disappeared when they bumped into others—a great introduction to logic and game development.
• Mini Science Project: The week was packed with fun, hands-on science experiments designed to ignite curiosity and creative thinking in the students.
• Electronic DIY Art Bot: The mini competition continued as the kids competed again with their DIY Art Bots. This time, they showcased their new skills and improvements!
• Creative Design (3D Pen): This time, the creative project was a custom name tag keychain, allowing students to personalize their creations and keep their designs as a souvenir!

Week 3 Highlights

• Programming Coding: The final week featured Botley once again in a Snake Game, reinforcing the coding skills learned over the program.
• Lego Wedo: Students worked on a Recycle Project, continuing their efforts to bring sustainable ideas to life with Lego.
• Biology (Animal and Plant Cells): The microscope experiments resumed, giving the kids another chance to explore the microscopic world of cells.
• Electronic DIY Art Bot: The competition wrapped up, with kids showing off their artistic bots one last time.
• Creative Design (3D Pen): The final creative challenge was to design and create their dream house with the 3D pen, leaving the young makers with a lasting creation to be proud of.

Decode: Ages 9+

Week 1 Highlights

• Robot Soccer: Students dove straight into Bluetooth coding to create their own robot soccer games! They learned how to program robots for movement and strategy, followed by mini competitions where they could test their skills.
• Smart Watering System: The students created innovative watering systems for their plants, even taking home a cactus to nurture as part of their project.
• Virtual Reality: The Decode students got to experience a game in a completely immersive VR environment, learning code through interactive experiences.
• 3D Design: They learned how to draw and design 3D models, creating personalized keychains that they got to take home.
• Mobile Apps Development: With no coding required, students created their very own mobile apps, developing their creativity and problem-solving skills in the process.

Week 2 Highlights

• The Maze (Obstacle Avoidance): Students learned obstacle avoidance programming as they navigated their robots through challenging mazes, honing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Smart Container: In this project, students were tasked with developing a unique smart container, utilizing their newfound coding and engineering knowledge.
• Virtual Reality: Back in the VR world, students continued their coding journey, experiencing a new game and learning about interactive programming platforms.
• 3D Design: The students worked on more advanced 3D designs, creating keychains and models to further develop their design skills.
• Makecode Arcade: With Makecode Arcade, the students got to design their own games, diving deeper into coding with a hands-on approach to game development.

Week 3 Highlights

• Robot Soccer: The Bluetooth robot soccer fun continued, allowing students to refine their skills and enjoy the thrill of the competition one more time.
• Smart Watering System: Students revisited their innovative watering projects, learning even more about coding and systems.
• Virtual Reality: The VR experience continued to captivate the students, with more games to explore and code-based learning sessions.
• 3D Design: The students further honed their design skills, creating new models and keychains to take home as a reminder of their achievements.
• Mobile Apps Development: The final mobile app creations were showcased, with students walking away with not just apps but confidence in their coding abilities.

Program Cuti Sekolah Roboskool 2.0: A Program to Remember

The Program Cuti Sekolah Roboskool 2.0 was an incredible success, with students in both Tinkerbeam and Decode categories learning new skills, solving creative problems, and having a blast! From coding robots to designing 3D models and building innovative projects, the young minds of Roboskool got to experience the future of technology and creativity firsthand.

Thank you to all the students for their enthusiasm and dedication, and to the Roboskool team for organizing such an inspiring and fun-filled program. We can’t wait to see you at the next Program Cuti Sekolah Roboskool and more adventure!
