A free robot workshop for your class

What students practice

1. Repair 1 · sequencing and navigation
   Map the Workshop

   Plan a safe route across the workshop floor, stop by stop, without rolling through wet paint.

   Talk about it: Ask a student to describe which step they planned first and why.

2. Repair 2 · addition and subtraction
   Recharge the Robot

   Find how many charge cells close the gap to a target, then power up to check.

   Talk about it: Ask a student how they found the missing charge and how they checked it.

3. Repair 3 · reading instructions and evidence
   Read the Repair Note

   Read a short repair note, choose the safe step, and point to the words that prove it.

   Talk about it: Ask a student to show the words that helped them decide.

4. Repair 4 · fair testing
   Test the Plant Helper

   Design a fair plant test that changes one thing and keeps the rest the same.

   Talk about it: Ask a student what changed in the test and what stayed the same.

5. Repair 5 · budgeting and planning
   Stock the Supply Shelf

   Choose supplies that cover every need without going over a coin budget.

   Talk about it: Ask a student how they checked that the plan covered every need and fit the budget.

In your classroom

Who it fits

Written for ages 8–12 (about grades 3–6). Older students can replay any repair for three stars.

Time

Plan on one class period for the guided and solo tries on all five repairs, plus a bonus delivery mission. Or run one repair a day as a warm-up.

How each repair runs

A guided try, then a solo try. A third problem that asks students to remember what worked opens a day later on the same device.

Devices

Runs in a web browser on a Chromebook, iPad, or laptop. Nothing to install.

Sound

The class link starts with sound off. Students with headphones can tap the sound button to hear the music and sound effects.

Early readers

Every line has a read-aloud button that uses the device’s own built-in voice.

Shared devices

Progress saves in that browser on that device. When the next student sits down, they tap “New student? Start fresh” at the top of the workshop.

Nothing to collect, nothing to sign

No student accounts

No sign-in, no email, and no class roster. Students open the link and start.

Names stay on the device

The robot name a student types is kept in that browser. We never receive it.

Nothing to buy, no chat, no ads

There are no purchases, messages, or ads inside the workshop. The finish screen has one link for parents about the paid family membership.

Anonymous counts only

We count events such as “a repair was finished,” with no name, account, or cookie attached.
