Course Description:
This is our second level course. It is aimed toward elementary age students and builds on the concepts learned in Elementary Robots. We will be using the Sphero Bolt robot. The student will learn to program with Scratch and some JavaScript. This course will give them the confidence to do their own programming. As a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) course the activities will integrate STEM subjects with robotics. The student will have fun but will be learning some very important skills.
Here are some of the projects we will be doing:
Coding a story
Make a chariot for chariot races.
Dance to music
Programming games
Flash Morse code
And many more projects.
