Note: The materials we cover in Jr Robotics 401 will be different than 101, 201 and 301. Each unit will stand alone, and does not have any prerequisites, so children need not have taken any of the previous courses for 401 to be good fit.
Description:
Come taste our Junior Robotics recipe ... the Bricks 4 Kidz way. We'll start with a "cup" of Simple Machines -- complete with moving gears, axles, and motors. Next we'll add a tablespoon of programming, using LEGO's WeDo Software. Finally we'll throw in a dash of Sensors -- trying out the tilt and motion sensors to help our Robot Recipe better interact with the world around it.
Each week will feature a teaching lesson covering aspects of Simple Machines, along with a mechanized model that children work with a partner to complete. We'll also learn how to make the machine move by using the "Command Blocks" to write a program. Sensors can be connected to our model, as well, and additional responses based on input from the sensors can trigger different actions in our program. Kids love being able to "take it to the next level" with Bricks 4 Kidz Junior Robotics!
