Robotics Camp - Program your Robot with Robot Virtual Worlds

In this 3 day robotics class, students will learn how to program their robot in a virtual environment that they can practice in for days to come! Students will use a VEX Code, a block based coding language that allows them to understand sequential programming, loops, decision making logic, and some sensors. Students will talk about solutions, as well as where they can see robots in their everyday life. Time permitting, students will also draw up designs to compete in simple robotics challenges.  Students do not need a robot to participate in the lesson. All robotics programming will be done virtually. This programming class is for beginning programmers who are interested in learning a little bit about being a robotics programmer, and how programming and robotics work!

Day 1: What is a robot? Where can you see robots in everyday life?
    - Introduction to Sequential Programming 
Day 2: Intro to Programming structures like loops and conditional statements- Where do we use those in our life? 
    - Using programming structures
Day 3: Sensors. What are they and where do we find them around us? How do computers/robots/programs use sensor data? How do humans use sensor data?
   - Programming with sensors
