Robots A2Z: Advanced Robotics program
26 Sessions — Ages: 12-18
[We running this lab every Wed at 6 pm]
Duration: 60 mins
Our curriculum aims to cover the major concepts of robotics for any and all levels of experience.
With our expertise, we have outlined the necessary modern knowledge for students with an interest in STEM and developed comprehensive material to spread this information with an emphasis on curiosity, discovery, and hands-on projects.
Course classes:
1. What makes a machine a robot? How do motors, sensors, and controllers work together?
2. What is programming? How do robots and computers use programming? Why can computers not understand the way we speak and require code?
3. What is a motor? What are different types of motors?
4. What are circuits and how do they work?
5. What are sensors? What are different types of sensors?
6. What are different languages of programming? What are variable blocks in Scratch?
7. Why do robots need sensors?
8. What are humanoid robots?
9. How do sensors work? What are ultrasound and infrared sensors?
10. What do programmers/ software engineers do? (career exploration)
11. Why is language important to robots? Can robots really speak?
12. What are controllers? What are different types of microcontrollers?
13. What are engineers? How do engineers use/ make motors? (career exploration)
14. How are robots controlled remotely? Why do robots need remote control?
15. How are robots used in the government?
16. What makes a robot an entertainment robot? Where are these robots used?
17. How do robots use wheels?
18. What makes a robot an educational robot? Where are these robots used?
19. How do robots use cameras to understand their surroundings?
20. What is AI?
21. What makes a robot a service robot? Where are these robots used?
22. How does a battery work? How do robots use batteries?
23. Can robots make art or music? Can robots be creative?
24. Are service robots good? What are some jobs in which robots can replace humans?
25. What is the future of robotics? What robots are being engineered today?
Bonus: Discussion: what robot would you like to make or work on? Do you want to build, fix, or work alongside robots?
Our lessons cover topics such as:
- Robotics components such as motors, sensors, and control systems
- Speech recognition and output
- Programmed movements such as completing basic tasks and even dancing
- Robotics solutions to modern-day challenges
