In our busy world of manufacturing, construction, transportation, and medical technology the field of robotics is emerging to to make things faster, easier, more precise, and often times save lives by performing jobs in hazardous environments. There has been a steady evolution and utilization of this technology. Our society needs to be prepared with how to build, service, and troubleshoot these systems and their technology. Through this course, students will have the opportunity to understand VEX robotics systems, digitally 3D model, program robots, and then construct robots with motors, gears, and sensors. Students who wish to enroll in Robotics must complete one or both of the following: Architecture and Industrial Design I or Digital Electronics. This course is for 11th and 12th grade students who wish to study engineering in college and be better prepared for the 21st century workplace.
