🌟MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR🌟 Dr. Elliott Heflin, Jr. holds a Doctoral Degree and Teacher Certification in Engineering/Technology. I have been teaching robotics since the year of 2017 ( In-Person and Online. CREDENTIALS: ⭐️ Georgia certified Engineering/Technology Teacher ⭐️EdD. in Educational Leadership/Educational Technology ⭐️STEM summer camp owner ⭐️Two plus years brick and mortar Teacher (private) ⭐️Four year OutSchool Teacher 🎓TEACHING STYLE🎓 Dr. Elliott uses the hands on approach to learning, each student will construct program and run to see if it execute properly. 💻 This is an interactive class, the learner will have hands on interaction with a virtual robot software entitle Choreographe, which will be provided. The student will have access to Choreographe even when the class is over, To try out their own personal projects. Scholars will program NAO The Robot to move, respond to humans and the timeline, which help the robot to perform different tasks. Each learner will be provided with virtual environment software for the NAO robot. The following curriculum will be covered. Session 1-2. Setting up the Choreographe software Session 3-4. Walk it out (Teaching the robot how to walk). Session 5-6. Hearing Things (Voice recognition) Session 7-8. Human-robot interaction Session 9-10. Let's Dance ( Teaching the robot to dance) As a 21st century technology educator, I am auditory, kinesthetic and a visual educator. There is no prerequisite for this class. *Note* As a learner, it is imperative that we maintain an environment that is conducive to learning. Please rise your hand to be acknowledged, no blurting out!
Learning Goals
We will develop a strong foundation in computer programming, electronics, and mechanical engineering. Focus on mastering artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision to enable humanoid robots to perform different task.
