New York's Computer Science and Digital Fluency Learning Standards were adopted by the Board of Regents in December 2020, and every school has been expected to implement them since September 2024. The standards are organized into five concepts and five grade bands, so districts need more than a few coding activities: they need a consistent K–12 computer science curriculum that every school can teach and every principal can report on.
ROBOTIX C360 gives New York districts one hands-on K–12 pathway that covers the five concepts with robots, coding and AI literacy. Students build and program real robots, teachers facilitate instead of lecturing, and district leaders see usage and learning by school, grade and class.
Standards crosswalk
How ROBOTIX C360 activities map to the New York standards.
| Standard concept / strand | In ROBOTIX C360 | Grade band |
|---|---|---|
| Impacts of Computing | Discussions on how technology shapes daily life; the AI literacy layer on how AI works, where it fails and who benefits | K–1 to 9–12 |
| Computational Thinking | Every unit: decompose a problem, design an algorithm, code it in EasyCode® from blocks to Python, test and debug on a real robot | K–1 to 9–12 |
| Networks & System Design | Systems with sensors, motors and connected devices, such as a smart home project | 4–6 to 9–12 |
| Cybersecurity | Responsible use, privacy and safe practices in the AI and digital citizenship units | 2–3 to 9–12 |
| Digital Literacy | Students create digital artifacts, collaborate on the platform and present their projects; they also build a videogame and a mobile app | K–1 to 9–12 |
Grade bands
The NYS standards use five grade bands: K–1, 2–3, 4–6, 7–8 and 9–12. ROBOTIX C360 follows the same progression: screenless robots and unplugged activities up to 4th grade, then block coding, then Python, with the right robot at each age. Skills build year on year instead of restarting with every new kit.
Implementation timeline
- Discovery and standards mapping. We review your grade bands, schedule, existing robots and priorities, and share the standards crosswalk for your state.
- Kickoff and in-class training. Teachers start with ready-to-teach units, with ROBOTIX guides beside them in the classroom.
- District rollout by grade band. Every school follows the same pathway, with your existing robots or ours.
- Data review with district leaders. Dashboards show usage and learning by school, grade and class, with a personalized strategy for every student.
- Expand. Add grade bands, schools or the AI literacy layer based on the evidence.
Teacher professional development
Your teachers don't need to be coders. ROBOTIX guides come to your classrooms in person and support teachers during real lessons, so training turns into practice instead of staying in a workshop. Every unit comes with a lesson plan and a teacher guide, and EasyLesson® lets teachers adapt sessions in minutes.
- In-person training in methodology and robotics, in the teacher's own classroom
- Teachers facilitate: peer-to-peer learning, trial and error as a method, the robot gives clues
- Automatic code assessment, so teachers spend their time with students, not correcting code
- Proactive follow-up from our customer success team, all year
Ed Law 2-d and the Parents' Bill of Rights
New York Education Law §2-d requires districts to protect student personally identifiable information and to sign a data privacy agreement, with the Parents' Bill of Rights for Data Privacy and Security, with every vendor that receives student data. ROBOTIX C360 is designed for districts: students learn how AI works without using AI tools, and no student data is shared with any AI system.
