Why this course?

Description

In the 'Grade 6: Obstacle Avoiding Robot' course, students will learn how to design, build, and program a robot that is capable of navigating around obstacles. Through this hands-on project-based course, students will be introduced to basic robotics concepts, sensors, and programming principles. The course will cover topics such as understanding the components of a robot, including motors, wheels, sensors, and microcontrollers. Students will learn how to assemble these components to create a functional robot that can detect obstacles in its path and autonomously navigate around them. Students will also be introduced to programming languages such as Scratch or Python to write code that controls the robot's movements based on sensor inputs. They will learn how to program the robot to respond to different scenarios, such as turning left or right when an obstacle is detected. By the end of the course, students will have a better understanding of robotics, coding, and problem-solving skills. They will have hands-on experience in building a robot from scratch and programming it to perform specific tasks, such as obstacle avoidance. Overall, the 'Grade 6: Obstacle Avoiding Robot' course is designed to engage students in STEM education, encourage creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration, and inspire a passion for robotics and technology.
