Module 1: Quiz

Which of the following best summarises the key reasons why kids should be learning Coding and Robotics at school?

What is coding, also known as programming?

The process of building and programming robots
The process of creating instructions that computers and robots can understand and execute
The process of designing websites and mobile applications
The process of using mechanical fasteners and gears

In the context of CAPS (Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements), which of the following is NOT mentioned as a strand related to Coding and Robotics?

How can Coding and Robotics be integrated within STEAM education effectively?

By having a single educator teach all STEAM subjects from Foundation to FET phase
By ensuring that educators collaborate deeply to align the curriculum
By not involving any STEAM subjects in the project
By focusing only on subject-specific knowledge

What role does knowledge of basic electronics play in Coding and Robotics?

It provides essential foundational knowledge for understanding how hardware components in robots work and interact with code
It is unnecessary and does not contribute to understanding Coding and Robotics
It provides insight into how data is processed
It focuses on using advanced electronics to build automated AI manufacturing machines

Coding and Robotics are considered essential skills for preparing students for the digital future.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4iR) involves the integration of digital technologies, but Coding and Robotics have no relevance to it.

In STEAM education, it is necessary for every core subject to be directly involved in interdisciplinary projects.

Building a foundation in basic electronics is important for understanding the principles behind simple robotics.

It is recommended that educators use expensive hardware for teaching Coding and Robotics to enhance learners’ understanding.
