This course is for students who have their own (or their school’s) VEX IQ robot at home and want to learn how to program it using Python text-based coding. You must have a physical VEX IQ robot 2nd generation to participate in this course. If you have 1st generation, please see one of my VEXCode classes, as the 1st generation brain cannot download Python. You must also have a computer (not tablet) that runs Windows OS, Mac OS, or Chrome OS. Each lesson will have specific goals to plan and write programs, download them to the robot and test the code. Students need an area (preferably on the floor) where they can test their robot running the programs. If they have a way to show their results by moving their computer camera or utilizing their cell phone or a tablet camera, that would be helpful. The teacher will demonstrate the code on screen and help students perfect their code. Students will then download their programs and share their results. Students will be encouraged to ask questions and work to solve problems with guidance from the teacher via discussion posts. Students with learning disabilities, dyslexia, ASD, ADHD or other learning challenges are welcome to participate. This course is text-based coding, so some basic typing skills are required. These lessons may be differentiated for learner interest and ability.
Metas de aprendizaje
Students will learn text-based Python coding and will learn how to troubleshoot and solve problems with their code. They will also learn about the physical parts of the VEX IQ robots, including sensors, and how to transfer the code from the computer to the robot.
