Step 1—Meet LUMA: Students learn to upload, run, and save code through LUMA's web-based platform. The animated storyline introduces them to a robotics company where LUMA helps solve real challenges.

Step 2—Build Core Skills: Early lessons focus on navigation (Getting Around, A Maze Zing Drive Challenge), outputs (Light It Up, Sounding Off), and drawing (Drawing Lines, Robotic Artist Challenge).

Step 3—Add Sensor Intelligence: Students program LUMA to interact with its environment—following lines on the floor, detecting objects ahead, and responding to obstacles in real time.

Step 4—Solve Career Challenges: The program culminates with real-world scenarios—programming LUMA to assist emergency responders by carrying supplies, navigating obstacles, and playing auditory alerts.

Two students engaged in a STEM lesson with Luma and the block based coding software.

Career-Connected Computer Science

The 5th Grade Computer Science Program prepares students for the technology-driven workforce through career-connected robotics challenges. As they code LUMA to navigate, sense, and respond, students build skills used by robotics engineers, software developers, UX designers, and automation specialists.

Industry Applications: Robotics engineering, software development, UX/UI design, logistics automation, emergency response technology, and architectural technology.

  • Hello LUMA!—Understand how to upload, run, and save code using LUMA through the lens of game design.
  • Getting Around—Code their robot to navigate a variety of obstacles and move in different patterns in the context of a pizza restaurant.
  • A Maze Zing Drive Challenge—Successfully program the robot to navigate the maze without crashing into any walls or crossing any maze boundaries.
  • Light It Up—Learn to flash LEDs in different patterns as well as using lights and movement together to improve aspects of a large event.
  • Sounding Off—Learn how to play individual notes or tones as well as program the robot to produce sounds and tunes for a variety of situations including a truck backing up or creating a jingle for an ice cream truck.
  • Drawing Lines—Use the robot to draw specific shapes such as triangles and squares in the context of working with an architecture firm. They will also use loops to repeat navigational algorithms to make code more efficient.
  • Robotic Artist Challenge—Program LUMA to draw their first and last initials on a piece of paper.
  • Toeing the Line—Program LUMA to interact with a line on the floor using its reflected light sensor and will be programmed to count the number of times it encounters a boundary.
  • Pressing My Buttons—Integrate a user interface (UI) into LUMA's programming to assist with tasks on a farm such as feeding chickens and planting seeds.
  • Follow the Leader Challenge—Program the robot to detect an object in front of it and follow the object as it moves forward or reverse at different speeds.
  • Obstacle Detection—Program LUMA to complete a variety of tasks to help emergency responders including carrying supplies, navigating around and avoiding obstacles, and playing auditory and visual alerts.
