Course Outline

Level 1 is an introductory
course in Lego Mindstorms EV3. Kids will be learning basic programming to control their robot.

Construction:

  • – Essential construction techniques
  • – Build a robot

Programming:

  • – GUI of Lego Mindstorms EV3
  • – Different blocks to control movement of robot

Key Takeaways:

1. Abstraction: how to relate current learning to real life applications and situations

2. Ability to recognise patterns

3. Decomposition: to break down programming problems into manageable parts

Level 2 is about programming different sensors and understanding the applications of it in our real world.

Construction:

  • – Using different sensors for different application

Programming:

  • – Learning how to measure sensor values through experimental methods
  • – Incorporate conditional logic coding concepts with usage of sensors

 Key Takeaways:

1. Abstraction: appreciate and understand how the things around us “sense” 

2. Designing the algorithm in an efficient manner

 

Level 3 will use a line follower program to complete a construction mission with the different blocks program taught.

Construction:

  • – 3rd motor for construction mission

    – Integration of robot components and attachments

Programming:

  • – Introduction to switch block
  • – Using what they have learn in level 1 and 2, they will program to complete a mission in Level 3.
  • – Focus on how to troubleshoot effectively through timed missions 

Key Takeaways:

 1. Design Thinking: ideate and brainstorm the possible solutions for the problems on hand

 2. Computational Thinking: combining logic, abstraction, decomposition and algorithm design

The pre-requisite to sign up for Robo-Prentice series is complete the Scratch Bootcamp 1.

Here’s an animation to illustrate how our robot senses its surrounding via its “eyes”. In our Robo-Prentice series, we will learn about the 3 senses of the robot – sight, sound, touch. With these skills, you can even programme your robot to welcome you home!
