Robotics for Beginners. Level 2 (Sat 9:00am - 10:30am)

Robotics for Beginners (Ages 7 - 8) 🤖🚀

When:
Once a week for 1.5 hours

What we learn:
In this course, students will bring their LEGO creations to life by building and programming autonomous robots! They will use LEGO Education WeDo 2.0, an introductory drag-and-drop coding platform, to program their robots to complete tasks. Along the way, they will explore essential engineering concepts, including motors, suspension, gears, and transmissions, to create functional and efficient designs.

A look into the class:
Each session begins with a teacher-led presentation introducing a new topic. For example, in an Off-Road Vehicle class, students will learn how these vehicles work, their history, and the key components that allow them to move. Then, working in pairs, they will use iPads for step-by-step guidance to construct and program their robots. The teacher provides support, encourages problem-solving, and fosters discussions to help students refine their builds. 🏗️💡

What we achieve:
By using WeDo 2.0, students will code and control their own robots, gaining an introduction to the world of programming and automation. They will explore sensors, manipulation, infrared, and wireless connections, as well as mechanisms like crank, transmission, gear, and belt systems. Through hands-on learning and teamwork, students will develop critical thinking, creativity, and a strong foundation in robotics and engineering! 🎯🔧

Robotics for Beginners (Âges 7 - 8 ans) 🤖🚀

Quand: Une fois par semaine pendant 1h30

Ce que nous apprenons :
Dans ce cours, les élèves donneront vie à leurs créations LEGO en construisant et en programmant des robots autonomes! Ils utiliseront LEGO Education WeDo 2.0, une plateforme de codage intuitive par glisser-déposer, pour programmer leurs robots afin qu'ils accomplissent des tâches. En chemin, ils exploreront des concepts d'ingénierie essentiels, tels que les moteurs, les suspensions, les engrenages et les transmissions, afin de créer des conceptions fonctionnelles et efficaces.

Un aperçu de la classe :
Chaque session commence par une présentation dirigée par l'enseignant qui introduit un nouveau sujet. Par exemple, dans un cours sur les Véhicules Tout-Terrain, les élèves apprendront comment ces véhicules fonctionnent, leur histoire, et les composants clés qui leur permettent de se déplacer. Ensuite, en pairs, ils utiliseront des iPads pour suivre des instructions étape par étape afin de construire et programmer leurs robots. L'enseignant offre son aide, encourage la résolution de problèmes et favorise les discussions pour aider les élèves à affiner leurs créations. 🏗️💡

Ce que nous accomplissons::
Grâce à WeDo 2.0, les élèves coderont et contrôleront leurs propres robots, s'initiant ainsi au monde de la programmation et de l'automatisation. Ils exploreront des capteurs, la manipulation, l'infrarouge, et les connexions sans fil, ainsi que des mécanismes comme les manivelles, les transmissions, les engrenages et les systèmes à courroie. À travers l'apprentissage pratique et le travail en équipe, les élèves développeront leur pensée critique, leur créativité et une solide base en robotique et en ingénierie! 🎯🔧

Our courses consist of two semesters: Level 1 and Level 2, which take place within one year and include a total of 37 classes. Typically, students complete a year of lessons before moving on to a more advanced course. However, in some cases, if their teacher believes they are ready, they can advance earlier.
