About This Activity
Activity Organizer: NEO ROBOTICS Email: neo@neoxrobotics.com Dates: Mondays Grades: 4-5 Cost: $800 Description: In this course students learn how to read and write a robot program as well as control a robot using Python scripts. Our detailed curriculum is effective for learning Python fundamentals and robotics fundamentals. We shall cover, Fundamentals: Students would know what are variables, using expressions, how to input and generate outputs from Python programs. Students shall use browser-based coding environment. Robot Parts: Students get a gentle introduction to components used to make a robot, Motors, gears, axles, obstacle sensors, camera, tilt sensor. Beyond Basics: Students would learn how to bring in modularity by using subroutines and modules, and loops which they would use to write more complex programs and make simple games Building a NeoRobot: Students learn how to build a robot, add motion to it, add sensors to it so it can interact, and finally program it using Python. Students would be using PCs or iPad to program the robots. Putting it all together: Using the skills that the students learnt so far, they would be challenged to build robots to perform some tasks. This is a good foundational course for those trying to participate in FLL or other advanced challenges. Students would be using PCs or iPad to program the robots. All or most components are using LEGO brick or standard LEGO kits. Required Materials: Students are required to bring their own tablet, Chromebook or any laptop with internet connectivity.
