Students interested in exploring the world of engineers and other maker professions would appreciate Robotics and Design. The work will be hands-on and range from working with paper and pencil, drawing software, electronic components, wheels, motors and many other bits and pieces. Some coding will be required at the higher levels, but is not a required skill to get started. Building robots (or their components) will lead to friendly competition within the school and beyond.
Students will learn the fundamentals of robotics components and develop skills in project planning, design, and 3D printing. They will also collaborate with other team members to problem-solve and construct robots and mechanical systems for competitions within the school. This course does not include learning a computer programming language.
Students will continue to increase their knowledge of robotics components and develop skills in project planning, design, and 3D printing. They will also collaborate with other team members to problem-solve and construct robots to solve real-world problems. Students will need to modify program code at this level but are not required to have taken Computing Science 10.
Will enable students to fine tune their knowledge of robotics components and continue to enhance their skills in project planning, design, and 3D printing. They will also collaborate with other team members to problem-solve and construct their robots for competitions within the school. Prerequisite: Computing Science 20 (Students enrolling in Robotics and Design 30 must have already completed Computing Science 20).
