I have spent the last 2 years introducing Hour of Code to my students. My pre-readers enjoy the funny sounds the bee makes when it sips the nectar when in actuality they are learning domain specific vocabulary from Bee Coding. My third and fourth graders think they are playing Angry Birds, getting the pig and and blowing up TNT when in actuality they are learning systemic thinking and logical strategies. Intermediate students play Minecraft all while learning systemic thinking and basic concepts of Maslow's Hierarchy. While they are learning and having fun with Hour of Code, they are using Blockly to create algorithms directing the onscreen characters. Dash and Dot would literally bring these algorithms to life! Dash and Dot is the next logical step for my students. To be able to use the same Blockly coding they've been using in 2-D Hour of Code now with 3D robots would give them the hands on experience to make their coding come alive! I am fortunate to have all classes in my school come to the library a half class at a time. I have anywhere from 9 to fourteen students per library period. Slowly, I have been expanding the Makerspace projects within the library. With only 3 Dash and Dot units, I would be able to form small groups and have them collaboratively create an algorithm and subsequently "present" their robot activity. With only 3 units I could teach the next step in coding to almost 500 students.
