Overview
This program has been designed for students and instructors to learn the basics of robotics together. It is open-ended to support experienced robotics students (and instructors) in continuing to grow.
Students Will Learn
Computer Programming
Students will create block-based programming algorithms using variables, perform numerical calculations on variables, construct programs to accomplish a task both independently and collaboratively, and classify or arrange groups of items based on the attributes or actions.
Robotics
Students will be able to articulate how the design solutions meet specific criteria and constraints given in the engineering notebook or robot game rulebook. We create a model or prototype to test and make modifications based on the testing outcomes.
For Teachers and Camp Counselors
Education Standards
