DERRY, NH – Intelitek and CoderZ, an Intelitek Company, announced today that the Dallas Independent School District has approved the EncoderZ coding platform and Robox 3D simulation platform for the district’s pre-engineering and robotics certification programs in a recent competitive bidding initiative. In addition to giving their students access to the two game-based learning platforms, Dallas ISD educators will be able to choose to implement the fully integrated curriculum and professional development that comes with each platform. shape.
“We are excited to have the opportunity to work with Dallas ISD to support their expanding STEM certification programs,” said Tony Oran, CEO of Intelitek. “Over the past year, our CoderZ team has been working to create new courses specifically aligned with the new TEKS for technology applications. So we are now well prepared to help Texas educators meet these standards. »
The CoderZ platform provides an advanced, research-based educational approach to teaching STEM and computer science in grades 3-12. The program develops basic knowledge of coding, physics, geometry, literacy and algebra, as well as essential skills such as problem solving, collaboration and courage. Any teacher, even those who do not have expertise in the field, can integrate the scaffolded and standards-aligned curriculum of CoderZ into teaching.
Ongoing support and professional development aligned with CSTA and NGSS standards make it even easier for teachers to master CoderZ learning materials. Teachers are guided through the concepts of teaching computer science and computational thinking while building their confidence in working with the CoderZ platform.
RoboX is an advanced and intuitive platform for programming and operating robotic work cells. Aligned with Intelitek’s IndustrialRobotics certifications, the platform features realistic robotic kinematics for an in-depth learning experience and allows students to explore career options such as engineering, robotic operations, or robotics programming.
The RoboX program offers fun, interactive game-based learning that can be self-paced or instructor-led. The online application is scalable and structured to accommodate any number of students of any experience level. The RoboX web environment provides students with the flexibility to work in the classroom, lab, or at home. Teachers can choose to pair the solution with physical robots or use it alone.
Since not all teachers who teach industrial robotics are robotics experts, RoboX helps them develop their knowledge and skills through professional development resources and strong teacher support, such as instructional videos. The platform helps educators track student progress with quizzes, grading, assessment tools, and detailed reporting at the district, school, instructor, and student levels. The platform also facilitates complete class management, including integration with the student roster.
“Both CoderZ and RoboX are comprehensive solutions, containing programs, engaging virtual applications and resources for teachers,” said Oran. “Together, they provide a comprehensive, cohesive learning journey that prepares robotics, engineering and manufacturing students and empowers them to become informed citizens in a technology-driven world.”
