"Practice early - programming in elementary school"
summary
Begins with unplugged grid-and-card exercises teaching left/right from the robot’s perspective, moves to iPad-controlled LEGO robots (Milo) with three basic commands then introduces 16 LEGO Education sets across two schools, eight double lessons/10 allowed hours and a 12-meeting project plan. Ten teams build fair projects, run a juryed exhibition and a shortest code competition; results show clear gains in spatial reasoning, teamwork and presentation skills, teachers get trained and the schools buy the sets for ongoing second-grade use.
