Getting to know the teacher and the rest of the students
In this course, you will work with other students in the group. These might be your classmates, teammates, or students you know from other activities. It is important to know your group so that you can work together with them in the best possible way.
Know your teacher
Your teacher will tell you something about themselves, and then you will acquaint yourself with the students in the group.
Remember the name of the teacher and address them by name!
Listen to others
Make sure you listen to the rest of the group and pay attention to details about them the same way you wish they would listen to you.
Details that you all should share are:
- your name;
- your age;
- your grade;
- which school you are attending;
- your favorite sport, extracurricular activity, hobby.
Share a story
Also, if the teacher considers it appropriate, you could share a short story or an achievement along the lines of "I've done something you haven't done, which is...".
Code of conduct during the robotics lessons
We have the following behavior expectations from you during this course:
You ask the question.
You will probably err before you succeed.
You should work as a team. Share solutions with others, help them and allow them to help you.
When the teacher speaks, this is important to everyone.
You should read your lesson before you come to class.
Students ask the questions!
The teacher will not expect you "to know a lot", but will expect you to ask when you don’t. Go to your teacher when you have a problem. The teacher won’t be able to help you unless you ask them.
Students err before they succeed!
It’s normal to fail the first time. But we will be disappointed with you if you don’t try over and over again. We can agree that you have failed only after you have tried at least 200 (two hundred) times and still haven’t found a solution to the task.
Students work as a team
A team consists of two students who work with one set and evenly share both building and programming the robot. Nevertheless, a team is the whole class who work together and help each other to solve all tasks during the lesson. We actually tolerate copying and hinting!
Two students should log in with their user names and passwords. Use the button "Log in Partner".
When the teacher speaks, this is important to everyone
Sometimes the teacher will solve a student’s problem. Pay attention to what the teacher says, as you may encounter the same problem in the future.
You should read your lesson before you come to class
We provide you with e-textbooks. You can read them at home, on your phone or tablet. You are expected to think of solutions to the tasks before coming to class.

Learn how to work with tasks
Your first task is coming up! Let’s see how tasks work and how to complete them.
Structure of the course
In this course, you will work with videos and tasks.
Videos are marked with the 
icon. They will show you how to use your robots and guide you step by step.
After every few videos, you will complete a task to practice what you have learned. The best way to learn is by building, testing, and trying your own ideas.
Tasks are marked with the labyrinth 
icon and include clear steps to follow.
These steps break the problem into smaller parts that are easier to solve. Follow them carefully.
When you start a task in class, click the "Started" button below it.
When you finish all the steps, click the "Completed" button to mark the task as done.
If you have difficulty with any step, ask your teacher for help. You can also write your question in the comments section.
