STEM：機器人學 - 使用指南針控制機器人方向

NOTE: This is a continuing education class utilizing the robot kit built in my Beginner Robotics Class. The students are required to have completed the beginner class and have a working robot to use in this class.

In this class we will make our yahboom robot able to use the built-in MicroBit Compass to give it a real sense for direction! There are several ways to utilize the compass. There will be fun projects each week demonstrating these abilities.  Each student is expected to  work on the projects in their own time between classes, and demonstrate success in the next class. 

In this class, the students will not only learn about how a piece of hardware works (the compass / magnetometer) but also important principles of coding and project design as we walk through the various uses of this sensor. Through the projects and discussion, we will expand our robotic and coding skills. 

Week 1: Introduction to the compass and coding the compass
              (This requires my secret rewrite of the microbit compass code to work with the robot)

Week 2: While roaming go around objects with square corners

Week 3: Run straight and true at various speeds

Week 4: Program compass directions to follow a treasure map

Week 5: Review and future ideas

This is a participation class! Each student is free to be creative and expand the weekly projects with "personality" for their robot. Engineering is more than just accomplishing a task, it means accomplishing it with STYLE!
