A guided project with optional equipment
Plan a small robotics project with test cases and a clear safety boundary.
Original Kidemy beginner self-study unit · Learn the idea, try the practical activity and review your written answers. Review your project with a guardian or teacher using the criteria below. Teacher-led course approval and booking are separate.
Learn the idea
Define a mission, inputs, rules and success criteria. Begin with a paper model or simulation. If hardware is later used, a guardian or teacher should supervise age-appropriate low-voltage equipment; a child should not wire wall power. Explain the model’s limits when presenting the result.
Worked example
Mission: reach a collection square and stop. Tests: a clear route, an obstacle on the route and a start facing a different direction. Each test needs an expected outcome.
- Define the target and stopping rule.
- Test both a normal route and a changed condition.
- Present evidence and limits, not only a finished-looking model.
Try it step by step
This is a practice model. It does not change your Kidemy coins or school grades. Use the buttons to test one instruction at a time.
Your written practice
Show your working on paper and enter your answer here. If it does not match, compare the model and try again.

no
Use paper or simulated work; any suitable low-voltage hardware needs supervision.
Write in your own words. A guardian or teacher should review this response.

Show model answer and explanation
Place a blocked square on the planned route and check whether the stop rule prevents entry.
Check one explicit changed condition and an expected outcome.
My tested robot mission
Make a paper or grid prototype. Show three tests, a change after feedback and one limitation of the model.
Review with a guardian or teacher
- Define success and a stopping rule.
- Record expected and actual outcomes.
- Use safe materials and explain what is not simulated.
