Teach Edison to count to 9 - an Hour of Code activity

Introduce the key computational concepts of inputs and outputs using Edison robots and the block-based programming language EdBlocks. This lesson utilises the Edison robot’s drive function through a set of progressive programming tasks. Creating programs for the Edison robot to ‘trace’ (ie. drive in the pattern of) the digital display numbers of their choice requires the application of sequential thinking and an understanding of the input-process-output cycle.

This 1-hour lesson is designed to allow students to work independently as they discover:

  • What is a digital display?
  • What is an input?
  • What is an output?

Celebrate student success!

Recognise your students’ achievements in taking on an Hour of Code challenge with Edison robots by presenting them with a certificate of completion.

Heads up

The Australian Federal Parliament has passed a law that extends goods and services tax (GST) to low value imports of physical goods imported by consumers from 1 July 2018.

This means that all customers purchasing Edison robots and accessories with an Australian shipping address must now pay GST. The GST will be automatically added to your purchase and show as a line item on your invoice.

We've detected that you are in Australia, so we wanted to let you know that we have changed your settings to view our Australian site, which displays GST inclusive pricing.
