WHAT STUDENTS LEARN
Build your first robots.
Students learn the basics by building models and trying them out. They explore how sensors and moving parts work, use maths and physics to make decisions, and tackle creative challenges that give each new idea a purpose.
CURRICULUM
What the work involves.
These areas bring the course topics together. Activities and pacing are adapted to the batch.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Skills students work towards.
- Build and explain a simple robotic model.
- Describe how a sensor contributes to a task.
- Use measurements and observations to improve a build.
- Work through a problem and explain a design choice.
Students build these skills through practice, with guidance suited to their starting point.
LEARNING BENEFITS
Habits that support the work.
Learn by testing
See how an idea behaves in a physical model and use that result to improve it.
Think step by step
Break a challenge into smaller tasks that are easier to work through.
Explain an idea
Describe a model, listen to feedback and discuss a possible change.
