Explore Robotics
Course Objectives:
- Gain an introduction to robotics and engineering concepts
- Discover various types of robots and their functions
- Understand basic engineering principles and their application to robotics
- Develop building and programming skills to create and control robots
- Apply these skills to complete a project, improving their abilities through testing and iteration
Outcome:
Students will understand robotics and engineering concepts and how they can be applied to solve real-world problems. They will learn to build and program robots using the building blocks and programming skills acquired throughout the course. By the end of the period, students will have developed problem-solving skills, logical thinking, and creativity. They will have a deeper understanding of the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields and how they are interconnected. The course also provides a hands-on learning experience, which may inspire students to pursue careers in STEM-related fields.
Summary:
The Robotics and Engineering for Kids course is an 8-week program designed to teach kids about robotics and engineering concepts through hands-on activities and building projects. The course covers various topics, including an introduction to robotics and engineering, building robots, programming robots using the remote control and apps, testing and iterating, and working on a project of their choice. By the end of the course, students will have learned about different types of robots, basic engineering principles, and programming concepts and will have designed and built their custom robots or program. The potential outcome of the course is that students will have a solid foundation in robotics and engineering concepts and may develop an interest in pursuing further education or careers in these fields.
