Class Experience

In this 90 minute class, students will be taught to code using a VR (virtual) robot! They will learn about the sorts of jobs robots can do for humans, and how we can control them. We will be giving our robot a cool challenge: to knock down every single brick in the work area! 

Class Agenda:

Welcome and Introductions
Overview of the topic - What are robots and why are they useful?
Introduction: Learn about the VEX VR coding platform
Coding: Command your robot to drive
Coding: Teach your robot to sense objects
Coding Challenge: Program your robot to knock down all the bricks in the arena
Coding Challenge: Make the robot write your name
Share projects and wrap up

Teaching Methodology:

Our approach is project-based. We strongly believe that engaged, happy students are the best learners. Our projects have an end goal, and most are game based. We use coding to solve a problem, such as protecting marine life by clearing debris from the ocean floor. We have up to 6 student in this class, allowing the class to be interactive with lots of opportunities to ask questions and share knowledge. 

What you would need:

- A computer/laptop or tablet with a web browser
- Ideally a separate device for Zoom so that the students can see the teacher's shared screen and work alongside

Age Requirement: 

7 to 12

No prior coding experience necessary.

Learning Goals

Students will understand sequential programming. Students will be able to identify a robot. Students will be able to use their problem solving skills to go through simple challenges. Students will understand simple programming logic. Students will grow and appreciation and excitement for robotics and coding.

Learn block-based coding similar to Scratch
Use loops and conditionals (IF/THEN/ELSE)
Understand variables (number, Boolean, string)
Create and use functions
Use all of the above to solve challenges
