Robotics I, II, III, IV (Grade 9-12) 1/2 Credit
Prerequisite: None
This course is geared towards the systems associated with designing and fabricating a working robot. This process is done in conjunction with FIRST robotics, which is an international design challenge given each year to thousands of high schools around the country and abroad. This challenge culminates with the three-day regional competition in the spring, which will be attended by the class. Concepts covered include: the design process, 3D solid modeling, materials and processes, marketing, machining, safety, electrical systems, pneumatics, programming, and anything else needed to solve the design challenge.
