Learn robotics programming using a virtual robot and Scratch-like coding blocks
Class experience
Students will learn how to program a virtual VEX robot to move through various virtual "playgrounds" using a programming interface based on Scratch (no previous Scratch knowledge necessary). Class Syllabus: Week 1 & 2 - Introduction & Moving Your Robot: This week will have a general introduction to the website and the programming tools. Students will learn how to move the robot forward, backwards, right and left, and how to sequence these commands to meet the goal of knocking all the...
Students will learn basic block-based coding skills to navigate a virtual robot through different courses or "playgrounds". Skills learned include basic movement, loops and conditionals, using robotic sensor inputs.

An internet-connected device running Windows or Mac OS, Chromebook, iPad or Android tablet. It is VERY helpful if students are accessing the site on a computer logged into the class session via Zoom so that they can screen share their work. Students are welcome to log in with more than one device so they can follow along with the demonstration on one device and do the programming on another (just mute the sound and microphone on one of the devices so that there are not feedback issues).
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Students will use the https://vr.vex.com website to complete the projects in this class. No account creation is required.
We will be using this website: https://vr.vex.com and other educational materials from https://www.vexrobotics.com.
