UKIT Hands on Robotics & Coding
NGSS Curriculum
Integrated STEM, Coding, & AI curricula
For today’s STEM Educators and tomorrow’s STEM leaders
Following a 5E lesson structure
UBTECH’s Next Gen Science units invite students to explore science topics such as force and motion and natural disasters, with an integrated STEM learning approach to reflect the interconnected nature of STEM disciplines as they are practiced in the real world. By building and programming real robots with our UKITs and custom app, students get a hands-on way to bring NGSS concepts to life. Available now for UKIT Beginner and UKIT Intermediate, and UKIT Advanced grades 3-12.
Artificial Intelligence Curriculum
UBTECH’s AI Foundations is a first of-its-kind, standards-based Artificial Intelligence Curriculum build for K-12. Leveraging the standards framework developed by AI4K12, the curriculum incorporates unplugged activities and hands-on learning to teach basic artificial intelligence concepts. These units include an introduction to sensors and perception, computational thinking and algorithms, learning and data, models of representation, and natural language processing in AI. The curriculum also emphasizes the importance of learning the impact artificial intelligence has on society in both negative and positive ways.
The units aim to provide both teachers and students with a better understanding of the Five Big Ideas and ensure they will be ready to move seamlessly to the AI curriculum for UKITs coming in 2021.
Professional Services
For many educators and classrooms, robotics is a new frontier. Our professional services break down the mechanics of the technology and demystify engineering and computer science topics to make robotics accessible for all teachers.
