The RoboBlocky Curriculum includes engaging Annual Schoolwide and Districtwide Learning Events that celebrate and extend student learning while strengthening school-family-community partnerships. Building upon the Curriculum Programs and Integrated Learning Components, these events provide authentic opportunities for students to apply mathematics, STEAM, computer science, and engineering design through robotics while developing student agency, communication, collaboration, creativity, confidence, perseverance, leadership, and peer mentoring through meaningful real-world experiences. Schools may organize these events individually or collaborate across multiple schools within a district to maximize student participation, community engagement, and continuity throughout the RoboBlocky Curriculum.

🍂 Fall (November–December): RoboParade™
RoboParade™ is an open-ended, cross-grade, team-based robotics project and celebration where students design, build, decorate, and program themed robot parade floats while applying grade-level mathematics, coding, engineering design, creativity, collaboration, and real-world problem-solving skills. Students select parade themes, create robot floats, design parade routes, and present their work through engaging hands-on robotics activities and themed celebrations. RoboParade™ may be organized as a classroom, schoolwide, or districtwide celebration that brings together  students, families, educators, and the community to celebrate creativity, communication, collaboration, artistic expression, and student learning. 

​

❄️ Winter (January–February): RoboEngineering Expo™
RoboEngineering Expo™ is a student-led engineering and robotics learning event where students showcase engineering design projects, interactive robotics activities, robotics challenge stations, physical computing projects, projects where students Design, Build, and Program Their Own Robot Machines, and other student-designed innovations developed throughout the RoboBlocky Curriculum. Selected students serve as engineering designers and robotics innovators, exhibitors, presenters, facilitators, and peer mentors, while other students, families, educators, and community members actively participate through engaging hands-on robotics and engineering experiences. RoboEngineering Expo™ also provides an excellent opportunity for schools and districts to showcase future RoboBlocky Curriculum learning opportunities while celebrating engineering design, innovation, student leadership, and peer mentoring. 

​

🌸 Spring (April–May): RoboPlay™ Competitions
RoboPlay™ Competitions are unique, mathematics-focused, level-playing-field robotics competitions for students in grades TK–12. Beginning with curriculum-embedded RoboPlay™ Adventure Competitions (TK–1) and RoboPlay™ Challenge Competitions (Grades 2–12), students may participate in classroom, schoolwide, districtwide, and regional competitions that challenge them to apply mathematics, coding, engineering design, and problem solving through engaging robotics experiences while celebrating mathematical reasoning, teamwork, creativity, and innovation.

 

Together, these Annual Schoolwide and Districtwide Learning Events provide a coherent progression of authentic learning experiences that celebrate student achievement while reinforcing and extending classroom learning and strengthening school-family-community partnerships throughout the school year.
