Activity and Benefits
-
Students start by learning basic robot building instructions, programming and movement then move on to working with sensors and more complex robot behaviors.
The research projects cover key STEM concepts, step-by-step programming instructions, and many challenge questions to reinforce key educational outcomes.
They are specifically targeted at academic concepts that students have traditionally had trouble with: ratios and proportions, measurement, scientific inquiry, and many others.
Towards the end of the course we shall introduce a team Challenge. The students will be given a task to design and build their own robot that fulfills the parameters of the challenge and compete against each other.
The challenge gives students a chance to take what they learnt and apply it through research, critical thinking, and creativity – and see how fun that can be!
provides excellent opportunities for students to build key workplace competencies in areas such as planning and teamwork.
