6.1. Introduction to Robotics
Robotics is becoming increasingly important at all levels of education and a variety
of educational robots have been developed. Each robotics set comes with detailed
instructions on how to set up your robot and how to program it to follow specific
commands. Then you can make changes to the robot by adding or removing parts
and can change the program to do whatever you like!
6.2. Getting Started with Edison
Edison is the perfect tool to help learn and teach
coding, robotics and STEAM (science, technology,
engineering, arts and mathematics) in a fun and
engaging way. Edison is a programmable robot. It
is suited to learning basic concepts and complex
processes as it supports block-based & Python
programming. Edison can expand its features as it
is compatible with LEGO® building blocks, providing
unique capabilities to create new robotic models. It is also equipped with different
sensors to understand its environment and interact with it.
Meet Edison
Edison robot is LEGO brick compatible on four of its sides, has a removable skid and
two removable wheels and includes a range of built-in sensors. Familiarity with your
robot will allow you to create an incredible range of robotics and coding projects.
Edison’s sensors, buttons and switches
To use Edison, you’re going
to need to know where all of
Edison’s sensors are
located and become familiar with
the robot’s three buttons.
160
The City School 2021-2022
Default settings of Edison’s three buttons:
• Record button 1 press = download program, 3 presses = scan barcode
• Stop button 1 press = stop program
• Play button 1 press = run program
Turn the Edison robot over to see where the Robotics
power switch, removable skid, and line tracking
sensor are located on the bottom. Edison’s line
tracking sensor is made up of two parts: a red
LED light and a light sensor. The line tracking
sensor also reads special barcodes that activate
pre-installed programs.
Connecting Edison to a Computer
To connect Edison, plug the audio jack end
of the EdComm cable into the headphone
socket on your computer or tablet. The other
end of the EdComm cable connects to your
Edison robot as shown.
Get Edison Ready
To get Edison ready for use, you need to complete the following three steps:
1. Open the battery compartment at the back of Edison
and remove the
2. EdComm programming cable.
3. Insert 4 ‘AAA’ batteries. Please refer to the picture
and ensure that the batteries are inserted correctly
to avoid damaging Edison. Be sure to reclose the
battery case by clipping the battery cover back on.
161
The City School 2021-2022
4. Turn Edison on by flipping the robot over. Slide the
power switch to the ‘on’ position, as shown in the
picture. Doing this will turn Edison on. Edison will
make a chirping ‘beep’ and the red LED lights will
start flashing.
Setting up Your Programming Device for EdScratch
1. Load the EdBlocks app by opening www.edscratchapp.com in a browser (we
strongly recommend Google Chrome). Launch the programming app by pushing
the orange Launch EdScratch button. Make sure you allow pop-ups for www.
edblocksapp.com.
2. Once the app opens, you will see the programming environment. Open Menu
from the menu bar and select Load Demos. A list of demo programs will open in
a pop-up window. Select the program called Test_program which will load in the
programming environment.
162
The City School 2021-2022
3. Adjust your device’s volume to maximum or 100%. Plug the EdComm programming
cable into the audio jack of your device.
4. Turn your Edison robot on. Connect the EdComm cable to the bottom of the robot,
near the power switch. Press the round (record) button one time.
5. Ensure to disable all audio enhancements before programming the edison robot.
The computer/device volume should also be set to maximum. Robotics
6. In the EdScratch app, press the ‘Program Edison’ button. Follow the instructions on
the pop-up and then press the ‘Program Edison’ button on the pop-up to download
the program into Edison.
Note: Many devices have built-in safety settings that reduce the volume when
an audio device is connected to the headphone jack. Always doublecheck the
volume settings after plugging in the EdComm cable to your device.
7. While the program is downloading, you will hear a whirring sound, a bit like a
dial-up modem. When the download is done, you will hear one of two sounds: the
‘success’ sound (the same chirping beep Edison makes when you first turn the
robot on) or the fail sound (a descending beeping sound).
6.3. EdScratch Interface
EdScratch is a vertical block-based visual Checkpoint
programming language based on Scratch.
EdScratch combines the ease of drag-and-drop Edison is the perfect tool to
help learn and teach
programming with powerful functionality and coding, robotics and STEAM.
versatility. The result is a robot programming Edison’s line tracking sensor is
language that is easy to learn and offers a made up of two parts: a red LED
light and a light sensor.
robust platform for computer science education.
163
The City School 2021-2022
EdScratch’s intuitive layout and the simplicity of block-based coding makes EdScratch
an ideal programming language for students aged 10 and up. You can access
EdScratch online at www.edscratchapp.com
The EdScratch interface has four parts:
Block pallet: all of the blocks that you can use are in block pallet. To use a block, select
it from the block pallet, and drag it into the programming area.
Programming area: the large area where you can connect blocks together into
programs is called the programming area. Drag and drop blocks from the block pallet
into this area to use them into your program.
Menu bar: options such Save and Load are accessed from the menu bar. The menu
bar has also program edison button.
Bug box: the section below block pallet and the programming area is called the bug
box. Warning messages will be shown in the bug box.

7.1. Computer Science Principles
Computer Science Principles introduces students to the foundational concepts of
computer science and challenges them to explore how computing and technology can
impact the world. More than a traditional introduction to programming, it is a rigorous,
engaging, and approachable course that explores many of the foundational ideas of
computing so all students understand how these concepts are transforming the world
we live in.
7.2. Getting Started with Minecraft
Over the next hour, you’re going to
learn the basics of computer science
by programming Alex or Steve to move
through a simulated piece of a Minecraft
world.
Traditional programming is usually
in text but today we’ll use Blockly, a
system which uses visual blocks that you
can drag and drop to write programs.
Under the hood, you’re creating
JavaScript code.
The concepts you’ll be learning are what
computer programmers use every day
and are the foundation of computer
science. Here at Mojang, we use these
same concepts to make Minecraft
work. Before you start, you’ll pick your
character. Let’s build the code for a program that will help them move around the
screen.

175

Toolbox:
This middle area is the toolbox and each of these blocks is a
command that directs the player’s actions.
Workspace
The white space on the right is called the workspace
and this is where we’ll build our program.
moveForward( ) Block
If we drag the moveForward(); block to our workspace and then click run, what
happens? Alex moves forward one space on the grid.
And what if we want to do something after she has moved forward one space? We can
add another block to our program. I’m going to choose the turnRight(); block and I’ll drag
it underneath my moveForward(); block until this orange line appears. Then I’ll drop it
and the two blocks will snap together. When we press run again, Alex will perform the
commands that are stacked from top to bottom in our workspace.
176
The City School 2021-2022 Minecraft - Hour of Code
If you ever want to delete a block, just drag it from the stack back to the toolbox.
To undo your changes and get back to how the level started, use the Start Over button
in the top right corner of the workspace. One more thing: you see the little triangle on
the turn blocks? Anytime you see these triangles, it means that you can pick a different
option. Let’s start coding!
177
The City School 2021-2022
7.3. Repeat Loops
When building Minecraft, we use repeat loops to place all the initial materials for
creating a new world. That’s thousands and thousands of blocks. We also use loops in
little ways, for example, to make Alex’s feet move back and forth as she walks. Repeat
loops are a powerful part of programming.
Night is coming so in the next couple of levels, we’re going to build a house to stay
safe. We’re going to use the repeat block to do this very easily. To build a wall of our
house, we can either tell Alex to moveForward(); and place planks four times
or we can tell her to moveForward(); and place one plank, then take this command
and use the repeat block to have her perform the action multiple times. Now we’ll click
on the repeat block and tell her how many times we want her to perform this action.
7.4. If Statements
If statements are a fundamental part of learning to program. They help a computer
make decisions. All computers use if statements, including my phone. For example,
when I unlock my phone, it runs some code that says if I enter the password correctly,
then unlock the phone. Otherwise, it shows an error message.
You can use if statements in your code to make Steve and Alice react to what they see
in the world. For example, if there is a rock in front of them, they can turn left. Or turn
right if they run into a tree. In this case, we don’t want to fall into the lava. It’s easy to
178
The City School 2021-2022
plan for the lava. We can see it on the screen. But what about the lava that we can’t
under the stone? After we mine the stone, we’ll need to check if there’s any lava in that
place before moving forward.
If there is lava there, we want to place a stone in front of our character before we can
move forward. That way we can safely move on. Time for more mining! And remember Minecraft - Hour of Code
to use the if statement to watch your step.
