ROBOTICS

Grades (8-9) / (10-12): Level 2
(Semester) .50 credit 

This hands-on course is designed to introduce students to the world of mechanical engineering and programming through an exploration of robotics. Students will engage in activities through hands-on projects. Successful completion of this course includes inquiry on past and present robots, researching the engineering design process, understanding fundamental engineering theories, studying the IPO model, examining basic robotic concepts, and constructing functional prototypes.

What are robots? 

How are they made?

How do they work?  

What was the first robot ever? 

Can they think, or learn, or judge?  

Can they perceive or have an opinion?

Are they... a... a... a... a-live?

Let's explore the past, present, and future of robotics!

Let's discover how robots sense their surroundings, process data, and interact with their environment!

Let's inquire on everything ROBOTS!
