We are introducing robotics and programming to 9 year old primary students with extreme budget constraint. With some research, we managed to come up with this solution. I will hereby share the material and idea behind this project.
mBlock 3 is built based on Scratch 2.0. Scratch is a programming tools for kids; it allows kids to program code by dragging and dropping the "blocks". mBlock enhances Scratch to allow it to talk to Arduino.
What I had done was build an extension for mBlock 3 with predefined parameters to allow the kids to instruct the robot car to move or play music.
Detailed instruction is included.
