This page contains 6 Project-Based Units and Project Resources designed to introduce the core concepts of engineering and robotics to students in grades 4+. The Units are recommended be taught sequentially as the concepts build off of each other, however up to the teacher's discretion to lengthen or shorten each Unit depending on class length.

Teacher will introduce lesson notes to the students, introducing the core engineering and robotics concepts. In some Units, students may complete a hands-on Classwork assignment first to understand how to apply the lesson to their build. Each Unit culminates in a Project in which students will use their knowledge from the lessons and apply it to their designs.

Targeted Grade Levels: 4+
Pacing: Approximately between one semester or a full school year. Up to the discretion of the teacher. Teachers may choose to give students more time for their projects to undergo multiple design iterations.
Robotics Platform: Although the VEX IQ robotics system is the primary platform that these lessons were designed for, teachers may use a robotics platform of their choosing. Suggested to choose a robotics platform where the kit includes building components, gears, able to drive with a remote controller, and a programming capability.
Student Teams: Recommended groups of 2. Teachers may also switch partners between Units.
Standards Explained
Standards Explained
The Standards listed in each Unit are aligned with Common Core Math, Next Generation Science Standards, and Computer Science Teachers Association for Grades 3-5 and Middle School.
As mentioned above, these Units and Projects can be implemented in a high school classroom and can be adapted to address NGSS Engineering High School Standards by introducing real-world problems for students to solve using robotics.
