  1.  Check your materials
    There are some things required for the class that are not included:
    1. LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime Set
    2. LEGO® Education SPIKE™ App
      • See below under “Installation”
    3. A clear workspace of approximately 4'x4' (1.2m x 1.2m) with a uniformly-colored surface (e.g. white table or floor)
    4. 1 roll of electrical tape (or similar tape to mark the floor)
    5. A ruler or meter stick
    6. PC, Mac, or compatible device that can use the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ App
  2. Assignment Zero: Installation

    This is only required if you are planning on using Physical LEGO EV3 robots.

    1. Install the LEGO Education SPIKE App programming software on your device. The app is compatible with Mac, Windows, iPad, Android, and Chromebooks. To download the software, go to the following link and select your operating system from the drop-down menu: 

  3. Build the TACObot
  4. Curriculum Access
    Next, you will set up your account to access the course's curriculum materials - videos, quizzes, and other assignments - through CS2N, the CS-STEM Network.
    1. Go here and create a username and password:
      2. CHECK YOUR EMAIL for the activation link!
    2. Join the CS2N group for the Class:
      1. Click the following link to join the Group: [link changes with each training cohort]

  5. (Optional but recommended) Test Zoom Meeting
    The online training utilizes the Zoom Web Conferencing software. If you’d like to test out if your computer is compatible with the Zoom Web Conferencing software, please use this link to join a Test Meeting: 
  6. First class meeting
    During the first meeting, we will discuss installation, orientation, and some overall course logistics. We will also get started with programming the robot and look into the Coding and Computational Thinking with SPIKE Prime curriculum. If you’ve had any trouble with the steps above, don’t worry, we can help you with them once you’re connected to the class.
    1. To connect to class:
      1. Go to: [link changes with each training cohort]
