This is a beginning course in robotics. We will be utilizing Lego Mindstorm EV3 robot kits and Lego Spike Prime kits. The objective of this course is to introduce the student to basic programming as well as problem solving skills. Students will work hands-on in teams to design, build and program the robots. Here is a website showing the Mindstorm kit we will be using: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/lego-mindstorms-ev3-31313. The beginning of the year each team will build base robots and learn how the motors and sensors operate and use the EV3 scratch software to program the robots. We will conduct a battle bot competition and then end the year working together as a whole class to complete First Lego League challenges using the skills we have learned throughout the year.
Most work will be completed in class. There may be times when students research robot designs or work on learning aspects of the robot programming at home.
8 pack of AA batteries.
First Semester Material Fees: $40/ Second Semester Material Fees: $10. The Material fees will go toward purchasing a new Lego Spike Prime kit (which will belong to LH Co-op). Students will work on the robots in class and will not take them home with them.
