The advanced Robotics program is for students who want to immerse themselves in advanced engineering and coding principles, normally taught at university level of study. Students use LEGO®EV3 engines, multiple different sensors and more sophisticated motors to build their robots. Children will:
✓ Learn advanced coding and software skills
✓ Simulate real-life machines that perform range of tasks
✓ Learn to code a range of parameters in their machine
✓ Follow complex flow charts
✓ Longer sessions for greater skill building
✓ Use range of sensors like gyro, touch, colour & motion
✓ Use 2 different types of motors
✓ Build models having multiple moving parts and complex order for part movement
✓ Further develop critical thinking and creative problem solving skills
Overview of Robotics Sessions
All session follows the Learn-Prototype-Code-Experiment-Imagine format.
✓ Learn – theoretical engineering and coding concepts
✓ Prototype – Children build a LEGO® model that works like a real-world robot
✓ Code – from pseudo code to programming language
✓ Experiment– Children are encouraged to change the inputs and vary the code to study the impact of these changes
✓ Imagine – Children can see how closely their creation resembles real-world machines and imagine the possibilities
Robotics Secondary Objectives
✓ Improve procedural, logical and algorithmic thinking
✓ Cultivate students’ ability to solve complex engineering challenges combining engineering and programming solutions together
✓ Develop mathematical processing skills
✓ Improve time management and collaboration skills
✓ Acquire information system and media literacy
Robotics Subjects
✓ Software engineering: Commands, Terms Loops, Planning methods, Dynamic programming, Applied mathematics, Efficiency, Interfacing
✓ Complex missions: Instead of single tasks, robots perform a complex set of tasks
✓ Multiple interfaces: Children learn to input via 4 different sensors.
✓ 3D machine movement: Angular movement control along the Z axis.
✓ Fun robots: Bionic hand, Trash remover, Colour Sorter, Domino stacker, Line path follower, Dancing robot, etc.
