The Fantastic robot is designed to be used from preschool (ages 3 and up) until the end or even the beginning of Secondary. This is possible thanks to its different user levels. We classify the levels as: learner, advanced, and expert. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Learner level<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Preschool and early Primary School stages, we recommend that the Fantastic robot is used through direct operation of the robot’s keys<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Using the robot in the early educational stages helps children experiment with directionality (right, left, up and down), logic (number of steps that the robot wants to move) and sequencing ( the order in which the movements are made to reach the desired goal) in a fun and innovative way.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Dynamics of use at learner level<\/strong><\/p>\n

To begin with, you need to load a pre-designed program capable of saving a sequence of instructions and then carrying them out.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download the program<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Open the program from the microBlocks programming environment<\/li>\n
  3. Activate the robot and start moving it around<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This program involves using the four direction buttons (right, left, up and down), an OK button that validates the instructions indicated, and an X to delete the sequence and start a new one.<\/p>\n

    Taking into account the function of the learner level, the movement can first be explored freely using the direction cards.<\/p>\n

    Next, specific challenges related to curricular content (colours, animals, shapes, body parts, letters, etc.) can be worked on by using checkered mats (20x20cm) and placing printed images on some of the squares as target points for the challenges.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″]

    The second stage is aimed at children aged 6-8 in Primary School. Here students can continue to work with the robot in a hands-on manner, but the content of the mats can be adapted accordingly. As this is a stage in which they are consolidating their reading and writing skills, the use of symbols<\/strong> helps them, and the virtual part can also be introduced, using the robot on the screen with SnapJr<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Dynamics of use at advanced level<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The robot has physical extensions, such as a pencil for drawing and a paddle for dragging objects. At this second level it is possible to use the extensions for more interactive and complex activity.<\/p>\n

    At this stage it is also possible to introduce the creation of robot outfits. This is an artistic activity that develops fine motor skills to customise the robots, making them more user-friendly according to preference.<\/p>\n
