Robotics Course and Club Kit
This robotics course is designed to have everything that you will need to teach beginners to code and program robots.
It is intended for 6th grade and up (11 years & older).
Teachers do not need any prior robotics knowledge although this will be an advantage.
The recommended number of robots for your students is one robot per student as this will give them the advantage of the full coding experience as well as making assessment easy for the teacher
There isn’t another robotics course on the market that is as self-contained as this one, and offers an all in one progression with little expectation of prior knowledge.
What this course Teaches
Programming sequence
Ordering instructions for machines to understand
How coding translates to the physical environment
How sensors can make robots intelligent
How electronics operate behind the code
How block programming relates to a coding language like Python & JavaScript
What you get
- A set of 12 robots (club kit) or 24 robots (class kit) with all the accessories to run the course
- Printed mats with challenges for students to complete
- Work books for your students that guide them through the various sensors and coding commands
- Lesson plans for each lesson
- An assessment method that is easy to grade and also specific to each students progress
- A set of video tutorials to provide the information your students need to complete the challenges
- Solutions to each challenge
- Assessment score cards
What you need
- A computer (Windows or Apple) or tablets with USB ports
- For a full kit 12 m squared of open, flat floor space (6m squared for the half kit)
- One electricity outlet for charging the robots
3 to 5 months of around an hour a week to ensure consistent progress - Enthusiastic kids who like problem solving
Purchase a Kit
Important
- Accessories in the expansion kits are 3D printed to allow of adaptability, easy expansion and modifications by students (covered in student workbook 2)
- Robots that do not operate with stepper motors and are not guided with tracks will not repeat movements exactly as expected. Although programing the software may be precise, when it translates to the physical environment, a lot of factors can change your instructions like friction, voltage, etc.
- Not all students are programmers, but this is a fun way to get kids involved in coding activities and expose them to the ever increasing, progressive world of robotics
