• Robotics:  (Available grade 7)

    The objective of this course is to introduce students to basic programming and problem solving strategies as they​ assemble, program, maintain, and repair robotic devices.

  • Advanced Robotics​: Yearlong (Available Grades 7 and 8)

    The objective of this course is to expand upon students’ programming and problem solving skills as they work in teams to ​assemble, program, maintain, and repair robotic devices. It includes instruction in the history and development of robotic devices; the types of robotic devices used in industry and their component makeup; computer control systems and robot computer language programming as well as troubleshooting techniques​. Students will work in teams to design, build, and program robots developing a clear understanding of motor control, gear ratios, torque, friction, sensors, timing, program loops, decision-making, timing sequences, and propulsion systems.
