iGLOO Robotics club is organized by Zone01-ORC robotics
Our curriculum contains
-
3 Categories: Pre-school; K-12 and Pre-College.
-
5 Levels:
-
Pre-A： for age 3-6
-
Level A：for age 7-9
-
Level B: for starting age between 10-12
-
Level C: for starting age >12 or younger learners who finished level B
-
Level E : the Elite Club for those who are preparing college level study

-
Each level contains various sub-levels. A numbered sub-level (i.e. B2) contains 12 classes; a lettered sub-level (i.e. B-Challenger) contains 12-24 classes.
-
Generally, classes are once per week.
-
On average, A full year study covers 3 sub-levels, which is 36 classes(weeks)
Overview Progression Map, CLICK to Enlarge
Pre-A:
Age 3-6
Keywords: programming without electronics
The first dedicated program and materials ever designed for this age group. Kids will be using constructive and safe large blocks and special healthy and non-electronic kit to learn programming language/logic.
This is the first true robotic learning suitable for early ages.
LEVEL A:
Age 7-9
Keywords: An introduction to robotics
Short description for Level A
Language: Scratch or Mindstorm
Material: Wedo 2.0
Class needed to pass this level: 36 -- 72 classes
How to pass this level: Pass evaluation at A3, A4 or A-Challenger or referred by instructor
Next level: Level B (B1)
Competitions: Zone01 regional competition
Copyrights: all images and videos belong to Zone01 Robotics
LEVEL B:
Starting age: 10-12
Keywords: Robotics enthusiasts are taking off
Short description for Level B
Level B contains 4 parts:
B1-B3 are the fundamental periods of introduction to robotics logic and mechanical construction as well as an introduction to general science/tech knowledge;
B- Challenger is the first buffer sub-level which is primarily concentrating on learner's mathematics and science skills. Younger learner's may be required to take additional math/science classes.
B4-B5 are the intermediate to advanced levels. In this level, learners will start to apply math/science skills to their robotics design include variables, mechanical structures and Etc. Design is leaning toward original rather than following instructions.
B-Maker is the ultimate sub-level of Level B study. Learners are in advanced level when using existing robotic kit. Learners can solve a specific task without existing plans.
Language: Scratch or Mindstorm
Material: Mindstorm EV3 (45544) or Spike Prime (45678)
Class needed to pass this level: 72 - 96 classes
How to pass this level: Pass evaluation at B-Maker or referred by instructor
Next Level: Level C (C4) or Elite (Competition groups)
Competitions:
-
Zone01 Regional competition;
-
Zone01 National Final
-
Zone01Open Robotics Challenge International Final;
-
World Robot Olympiad Canada;
-
World Robot Olympiad International Final
LEVEL C:
Starting age: >12 (Secondary school)
Graduates from Level B
Keywords: An introduction to professional robotic builder
Short description for Level C
Level B contains 3 parts:
C1-C3 is equivalent of B1--B5 in a fast pace, which is the fundamental periods of introduction to robotics logic and mechanical construction. Classes concentrate on mechanical structure knowledge and fundamental programming.
C- Challenger is the first buffer sub-level which primarily examining learner's mathematics and science skills. Learners may be required to take multiple sessions of this level.
C4-C6 are the advanced levels in robotics design. Studies will be concentrated on advanced control, program optimization and advanced structure design. More content will be added to these levels for future robotics design without existing material kits, include advanced programming languages, CAD parts design, 3D Printing and electric circuits.
Language: Scratch or Mindstorm ---- Python
Material: Mindstorm EV3 (45544) or Spike Prime (45678) ----- other mechanical/electronic open source materials
Class needed to pass this level: 36 - 60 classes (Level B graduates); 84--108 classes (Freshmen from C1)
How to pass this level: Pass evaluation at C6 AND instructor referral
