 PEDAGOGY

Whether you want to enhance your robotics programs with cool robot simulations,
upgrade your computer science classes with robotics and physical computing or
increase student engagement in STEM through engaging on-line learning, robotics
competitions, after school activities, flipped classrooms and more, CoderZ is the
platform for you.

Low Floor, High Ceiling Pathway

Newbies start with our Blockly, Scratch-like
programming while more advanced users can go
right to Java in the object-oriented code editor.
Combined with curriculum for coding novices
through to advanced engineering problem solving,
CoderZ fits all levels at all types of schools.

Engaging Simulation
Students love the immediate feedback of the
simulation that allows them to test coding
assumptions and see physical results outside the
robotics lab and even outside the school building.

Accessible and Scalable

CoderZ is a cloud based online tool that runs in a Chrome web browser. Students can access their
CoderZ account whenever they want, wherever they are. For the teacher, being online means a high-
level of student interaction and the ability to offer an enriched learning experience. For the school or
the district, the application is scalable and makes broad deployment and maintenance a breeze.

Real & Virtual Robots

CoderZ is compatible with popular robotics kits like the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 and SnapDragon
platform. Students can program and operate the robots their schools prefers online and then
download code to real robots after completing the programming challenges.

Comprehensive Educational Solution

CoderZ is more than just coding and robotic simulation. CoderZ offers curriculum, video tutorials,
challenges, missions, and learning management features for student progress tracking, assessments
and class management.

CoderZ also supports teachers in their role in educating students with teacher guides, professional
development and online tools.

Realistic Simulations
CoderZ features life-like and real-time 3-D simulation of robotic code in action. The stunning
simulation lets students test their code and solve problems from the real world.

Real-Time Feedback
The simulation offers a Heads-Up Display (HUD) that shows students data from their robot’s various
sensors. Students can manually drive the robot, trace their route by leaving a trail and quickly update
and re-run the program. HUD information helps student examine and improve their work.

Visual Editor
The visual programming interface allows students to use drag-and-drop Blockly programming to
learn the basics and at the same time see the Java code behind the blocks. This helps beginners start
learning programming syntax while experienced students can program directly in Java.

Configurable
The CoderZ virtual robot can be configured to match a physical robot which enables students to build
and test programs before compiling and downloading them to an actual robot. CoderZ supports
multiple brands of real robots and can be used in virtual or real robotics competitions.

Dynamic Challenges
Game like challenges can be set up or be part of the curriculum to progressively present students with
more stimulating exercises to test and expand their programming and problem solving skills.

Interactive
Collaborative platform can enable online robotics competitions as well as student-teacher and
student-student cooperation.

Educator Friendly
Linked with teacher tools, curriculum, challenges,
and online help capabilities, CoderZ is a
comprehensive 21st century approach to learning
STEM from Intelitek.

ENGAGING
With CoderZ, students can engage in fun real world challenges and get immediate
feedback. CoderZ encourages students to progress at their own pace by creating
reachable goals. With CoderZ students learn STEM and have fun at the same time.

ACCESSIBLE
CoderZ can be cost effectively deployed
to a classroom, school or district. Cloud
based and internet accessible, every
student can code his or her own virtual
robot in minutes.

INTERDISCIPLINARY
To succeed in 21st century jobs, students need knowledge of science, technology
engineering, math and strong problem-solving skills. CoderZ integrates the STEM
disciplines into a project-based learning environment to prepare students for the real-world.
