Robotics Tech Club - Fall 2024 - null

3D Modeling, Design and Printing
In this hands-on program, students will be using the TinkerCAD 3D design tool. We will cover features and tools available in the application and talk about different aspects of design like perspective, measurements, proportions, interior design, architecture, etc. Students will model different objects while progressing through the curriculum. We will give them challenges to recreate designs, build famous places in the world (e.g., the Golden Gate Bridge, Eiffel Tower), and give them time to create their own masterpieces by implementing their wildest ideas into life. We will work with a 3D printer and learn how to prepare the model for printing, print, and
maintain the model. Each student will have two printed creations. Each student will be provided with robotics kits.

NO CLASS 11/29

In this program, our students will build and program robots! We will use different robotics kits to explore and learn the main concepts of robotics and programming, including design and building, algorithms, testing, and troubleshooting. We will talk about and explore the nature of electricity,
magnetism, work on math, geometry concepts, and many more. We will work with Dash and Dot Robots, Lego WeDo Robots, Microbits, and engineering kits. All lessons are project-based, hands-on, and use age-appropriate materials. We build and program robots with Lego WeDo sets, explore
algorithms, resolve challenges and obstacles, play basketball, and much more with Dash and Dot Robots. We will introduce students to Microbit for programming exercises. Each student will be provided with robotics kits during the class; there will be no sharing of equipment.
