Robotics

Course Description

This subject is recommended for students interested in pursuing study and careers in science, technology, engineering and computer coding including apprenticeships, traineeships or university study.

Robotics at Year 9 allows students to develop an understanding of key logics associated with the programming and hardware of robotics. Using microcontroller based programming and Micro:Bit and Arduino based kits, students build and experiment with a range of robotic devices and build functional electronic devices to solve a range of real-world problems.

Links, Learning & Pathways

Students begin to use new tools such as programming languages and modelling software to represent and explore processes. Students develop skills in using ICT systems for controlling events in a predetermined way by writing programs that, for example, control a robot, or respond to environmental changes captured by sensors.

VCE: Systems Engineering, Information Technology

Pathways: Engineering degrees and apprenticeships, Digital technologies
