Class Experience

This class is part 3 of a series. Parts 1 & 2 are prerequisite. No exceptions. You need to have a microbit and the Yahboom WOM Sensor Kit (which you purchased for the Part 2 kit)
Now that you've used the Yahboom sensors and servos, let's combine them to make interesting robots.

And we've seen how challenging it is to build the robotic structure, so we will focus how to build sturdy, balanced structures and using axles and levers to add movement as required.

In this class we will be using...

How to use sensors including collecting data from sensors
How to use displays, lights, and sound to communicate with humans.
How to program servos and other outputs in response to sensor inputs.
Using a design review process to improve robotics design.

YOU MUST BUY A ROBOT KIT!!!!
Yahboom World of Module Programmable Sensor Kit for Micro:bit V2 board
https://category.yahboom.net/collections/mb-robotics/products/wom-sensor-kit-microbit
It is sometimes also available through Amazon or Alibaba

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:makecode for the micro:bit

55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

This classes uses makecode.com, a Microsoft website which does not need an account. Microsoft states that all of its online tools are COPPA compliant. makecode.com is the blockbased code editor used to program the micro:bit

I teach coding classes using Scratch and micro:bit robotics on OutSchool. I truly believe that Scratch is the best coding platform for kids. And micro:bit is by far the best "physical computing" device for learning robotics! I love the excitement...
