Intentional Sequencing
Memory Formation
Principle in Action
KaiBot introduces younger learners to fundamental programming concepts using a hands-on approach with a robot, physical coding cards, and a physical maze. Learners start with basic commands to direct the robot through simple sequences, like navigating a maze, which builds confidence at an appropriate challenge level. As proficiency develops, teachers can introduce advanced coding cards to increase complexity, allowing students to instruct the robot with number cards to specify movements. This ensures that learners remain engaged with the learning material and make gradual progress towards higher goals.

What are the ultimate skills you want learners to come away with from using your product?
What are additional skills that a learner needs to successfully apply those skills?
What skills are necessary for acquiring those additional skills?
How can you design your product to build up these smaller skills to support the bigger ones?
Do learners understand how these small pieces will lead to achieving the bigger learning goals?
Principle Definition
Structure learning modules in a logical sequence that progresses toward higher-level learning objectives. Begin with core concepts and progressively expand on them, adding new material to create a deeper understanding and connection between concepts and skills.
