2nd Grade Computer Science and Robotics
08/27/2019 - 12/13/2019 TU, 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Students build robots using Robo-Robo Kits, creating robots that increase in complexity throughout the semester. New students start with the first level of the RoboRobo Kits, while continuing students will move onto higher levels of the kits. The students learn how to build robots using metal frames and beams, attaching sensors and motors, and programming them with a block-based editor. Additional coding skills are learned by solving online puzzles and games, and with unplugged activities.
Part of each class will be devoted to teaching life skills, including self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making.
Each student is required to buy or rent a robot kit from Build-a-Robot. Buying a robot allows students to bring the robot home between classes and keep at the end of the session. Renting a robot allows students to use the robot kits during classes. //buildarobotk12.com/index.php/classfaq/
