🛠️ Classroom Implementation Tips

Start Simple: Begin with Scratch blocks, transition to Python in Unit 3. Students master concepts before syntax.
Pair Programming: 2 students per set works well. One "driver" codes, one "navigator" reviews. Rotate roles.
Storage System: Label bins by team. Use inventory checklists to track pieces. Designate "part managers" in groups.
Assessment: Use LEGO's rubrics for core values, innovation projects, and robot performance. Portfolio-based assessment works well.
Extensions: Advanced students can explore Pybricks, Web Bluetooth, or custom sensors for differentiation.
