Robotics

Robotics courses develop and expand students’ skills and knowledge so that they can design and develop robotic devices. Topics covered in the course may include mechanics, electrical and motor controls, pneumatics, computer basics, and programmable logic controllers.

STEM Exploration 1

Stem Exploration 1 will familiarize students with the tools and machines that they may encounter in manufacturing-related occupations and enable them to develop the skills they need to use these tools in various applications.  Course topics typically include (but are not limited to) drawing and planning, computer-aided drafting, electricity, graphic arts, woodwork, plastics, power technology, and career exploration.  Emphasis will be placed on safety and proper use of tools.

Materials fee:  $20.00

STEM Exploration 2

Using the current curriculum, which is based on pre-engineering studies, students will design projects through computer-aided drafting and build those projects in the adjoining production shop.  This is an excellent opportunity for all students interested in learning new technology skills and applying those skills by creating a project from an original design.  This course allows students the opportunity for hands-on learning.  Projects range from Air compressor dragsters to robotics, and will include a challenging and in-depth study in engineering projects.  Emphasis will be placed on safety and proper use of tools.

STEM Cornerstone

Using the current curriculum, which is based on pre-engineering studies, students will design projects through computer-aided drafting and then build those projects in the adjoining shop.  This is an excellent opportunity for all students interested in learning new technology skills and applying those skills by creating a project from an original design.  This class allows students the opportunity for hands-on-learning and active involvement in the building process.  Students will use the Ozobot and Lego EV3 system to build and code robots to perform different tasks.  Final projects will include a mag-lev vehicle which floats and a track and is propelled by a motor, a wooden puzzle, and a choice project!  Skateboard blanks are an optional project and will require an extra fee of $20.00 for the blank.  A strong emphasis is also placed on safety and proper use of tools.
