Introduction to Robotics is our new class that was inspired by the Summer of 2024 camp - Robotics Creations. As we expand the robotics learning materials from LEGO Education to VEX, KUBO, we find that students enjoy learning about different coding and designing environments and play with different robots, the process enhances the students' understanding of the problem on hand, and appreciate even though robots come in different shapes and formats, the fundamental theories and operations behind their robot creation are the same.
General Information
Students will have the opportunity to explore KUBO robotics from Denmark. This cute robot is will follow the directions you layout visually, and go from one place to other depending on your directions. Next we will move from laying visual tiles of directions to coding functions, loops and algorithms.
​
We will also introduce VEX 123, this robot is very well designed by VEX company, it will show students 3 ways of coding a robot -- 1 to simply pressing buttons on the robot to command it, 2 to use a PAD and insert "word" commands to direct robots what to do , and finally 3 is what students are accustomed to doing coding - on the IPAD or computer, hence the name VEX 123.
​
We will use LEGO Education WEDO to introduce robotics and design to students, much like Code Creator.
​
Finally, we will introduce with LEGO Education SPIKE or VEX IQ robot, which is the material we use for intermediate robotics.
