2024 Back to School Handbook - Educators

Are you an educator facilitating the RoboKind program? We've created a simple back-to-school guide to help support getting things up and running for SY '24-'25!

1. Update your robot & companion app!

    1. The robot software version is on 3.7.1
    2. The app should be on software version 5.2.1. When the app is opened, it should read PROD 352 in the bottom right corner. 

Here's an article on how to update your robot AND companion app (it may require district support to update the app). 

We have contacted your IT team to help push the App update! If it's still not updated let us know. 

2. Learn about our summer program enhancements!

    1. Read through our "Choose your own adventure blog"!

3. Run a Demo Lesson - make sure everything is working properly!

    1. If you're needing to re-pair your devices, simply Quick Pair!
    2. In case something is wrong, reach out to your Partnership Manager!

4. Clean up RoboKind Central!

    1. Add new students
    2. Associate Social Skills IEPs and/or Phonics IEPs to your students
    3. Deactivate non-returning students

5. Join the RoboKind Community!
