What's included
4 live meetings
4 in-class hoursHomework
1 hour per week. Students will be allowed to continue to build and program their robots in between meetings. Prior to every class, students can present their projects and the improvements they made in the process.Class Experience
Each session is full of projects based on Passion, Collaboration with Peers, and in a Playful Spirit. It is full of hands-on Memorable, Meaningful, and Motivating activities, specially designed for girls and boys, 7-9 years old. This class is a discovery class where passion for learning, creating, and collaborating are required on each student. The discovery process requires the use of a physical robotics platform at home. We recommend mBot from MakeBlock. In this online live course, each student will: - Participate in a class with other children his/her age group (10 - 12) discovering how robotics engineering is a part of their everyday life. - Enjoy four hours of personalized project-based instruction and interest-based projects. - Learn to design, build, create models that will require an engineer's eye using a robotics platform designed for children. - Collaborate with small groups (6 students maximum per session) with one adult certified live instructor. Syllabus/Topics covered: Week 1 (Intro to Robotics Platform) - Robotics - Hardware: Put your robot together - Software: Control the robot to make sounds/ show colorful light Week 2 (Robots & Coding Platform ) - Robots - Coding: Program your robot to move straight - Robotics Challenge: Ready, Set, Robots! Week Day 3 (Robotics Engineering ) - Engineering Design Process - Coding: Program your robot to turn - Robotics Challenge: Ready, Set, Race Track! Week Day4 (Wrap up / Combining Behaviors) - Problem Solving Strategies - Coding: Program your robot to combine behaviors - Robotics Challenge: Ready, Set, Maze! The 60 minutes classes are incredibly interactive: 15-minute lecture using videos and slides. 35-minute self-paced creation. 10-minute discussion of achievements.
Learning Goals
Robotics is a growing field in our world that is constantly changing and advancing in technology.
In this course, you will get to experience first hand what it is like to be a Robotics Engineer.
You will have the opportunity to build and program your own robot through various obstacles and challenges presented throughout the class.
For this course, students will be programming and building the mBot from MakeBlock. Students are using it to learn to program, create their own projects and share their creations.
Students will learn that being a Robotics Engineer starts with understanding the parts of a robot and continues into building and programming robots to complete tasks. With the guide of an instructor, students will learn that they too can be Robotics Engineers, if they are willing to just try.Other Details
Supply List
Students must have the mBot* from MakeBlock (price range: $59-$79) at home to participate. *mBot is a STEAM education robot for beginners, that makes teaching and learning robot programming simple and fun. With just a screwdriver, the step by step instructions, and a study schedule, children can build a robot from scratch and experience the joys of hands-on creation. As they go, they will learn about a variety of robotic machinery and electronic parts, get to grips with the fundamentals of block-based programming, and develop their logical thinking and design skills.
