Course Description

We hear all the time that Robots will be integrated into our lives everywhere; whether in hospitals, factories, banks or the agricultural industry. But aren’t we already surrounded by them? What makes the washing machine go round? What makes the light in the refrigerator turn on and the iRobot change direction when it’s facing a wall? Understanding the internal logic of the Robots we already have will help us engineer the Robots of tomorrow.

In our course, Robotics for Kids, children will learn to code virtual 3D Robots. Just like using a flight simulator, your child will have a lot of fun coding Robots to navigate various 3D mazes while learning the foundations of mechanics, physics and engineering.

During the course students will learn and implement the following concepts:

• Programming statements: if/else, loops, while and random.
• Variables: use variables to store information.
• Sensors: use gyroscope, tachometer, touch and color sensors
