SUMMARY
Early Childhood Teacher with good experience teaching children aged 4-8. The primary goal of an early childhood educator in robotic and coding education is to introduce young children to foundational concepts in a developmentally appropriate and engaging manner.
By fostering curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving skills, early childhood educators lay the groundwork for children to develop a positive attitude towards STEM learning and future engagement with robotics and coding. The candidate should thoroughly understand children's behaviour, cognition, and developmental milestones, and be able to integrate age-appropriate technology tools and resources, such as kid-friendly coding apps or programmable robots, that allow young children to explore coding concepts through interactive and hands-on experiences.
