Dallas ISD Approves CoderZ and RoboX for Pre-engineering and Robotics Certification Programs

Intelitek and CoderZ, an Intelitek company, have announced that the Dallas Independent School District has approved the CoderZ coding platform and the RoboX 3D simulation platform for the district’s pre-engineering and robotics certification programs as part of a recent request for proposal initiative. Dallas ISD educators will have access to these game-based learning platforms, along with the fully-integrated curricula and professional development that comes with them.

“We’re excited to collaborate with Dallas ISD to support their STEM certification programs,” said Tony Oran, CEO of Intelitek. “Our CoderZ team has been working diligently to develop new courses aligned with the new TEKS for Technology Applications, so we are well-equipped to help Texas educators meet these standards.”

The CoderZ platform offers a research-based, pedagogically-advanced approach to teaching STEM and computer science for grades 3-12. The program covers coding, physics, geometry, literacy, algebra, and essential life skills like problem-solving, collaboration, and grit. Teachers, even those without expertise in the subject, can easily integrate CoderZ’s scaffolded and standards-aligned curriculum into their instruction.

Support and professional development aligned with the CSTA and NGSS standards make it simple for teachers to cover CoderZ’s learning material effectively. Educators receive guidance on teaching computer science and computational thinking while gaining confidence in using the CoderZ platform.

RoboX is an advanced platform for programming and operating robotic workcells, aligned with Intelitek’s IndustrialRobotics certifications. The platform features realistic robot kinematics for a comprehensive learning experience and allows students to explore career paths in engineering, robotic operations, or robotic programming.

The RoboX curriculum offers interactive game-based learning that can be student-paced or instructor-led. The online application is scalable and scaffolded to accommodate students of all experience levels. The platform is web-based, providing flexibility for students to work in various settings. Educators can choose to use physical robots alongside the platform or use it independently.

Since not all educators teaching industrial robotics are experts in robotics, RoboX assists in building their knowledge and skills through professional development resources and teacher support materials like instructional videos. The platform helps educators monitor student progress through quizzes, grading, assessments, and detailed reports at various levels. It also aids in class management, including integration with rostering.

“CoderZ and RoboX offer complete solutions with curriculum, engaging applications, and teacher resources,” said Oran. “Together, they provide a cohesive learning pathway for students in robotics, engineering, and industry, preparing them to thrive in a technology-driven world.”
