The approach the school I worked with was similar, with a 4th step:

* Hello, World!

* Calculator

* Guess the number

* Control the robot.

They got a handful of nodemcu devboards, wired in a screen, some motors and IR lights/detectors, and the student got to go wild.

The class I wrote about also used Lego robots, but I was not involved in that, so I have no first-hand knowledge of it (although I heard many students liked them as well).
