This course is designed as an introduction to robotics and block-based coding for kids who are just diving into the world of STEM. Your child will learn by working through activities that teach robotics and coding, supported by Social Emotional Learning topics that help build creativity, self-control, and self-awareness. Topics covered include: block-based coding, hardware assembly, ultrasonic and infrared sensors, Bluetooth and infrared connection, design thinking, and the interaction between software and hardware. Kids will use the engineering design process and their social emotional learning elements in their final culminating project for this course.
Maria is extremely passionate about robotics and computer science education and loves working with kids to help instill this passion. She will be a student at MIT this Fall and has worked as a volunteer and teaching assistant at Build a Robot K12 for the past 2 summers. She is a member of the National Center of Women and Information Technology (NCWIT) and works with middle school and high school students to teach them about Information Technology. She was part of her school’s BEST Robotics team where they took first place in their local hub and went on to compete at regionals. She plans to continue her studies in computer science by exploring the fields of machine learning and artificial intelligence where she hopes to make an impact in the fields of science and robotics. We are excited to have her join us for yet another Summer!
