Robotics
(8th and 9th Grade students only)

 

Have you ever watched a science fiction movie and asked yourself, “Could robots actually do that?” The real-world answer may surprise you! Robots are becoming more and more sophisticated every day. After a guided introduction to the world of programming and logic, students will gain hands-on experience with specialized Lego Mindstorms NXT robotics kits. We will investigate the capabilities – and limitations – of the robots as we tackle engineering challenges. In conjunction with construction projects, students will also learn how to use the NXT programming software to create detailed instructions for each robot’s various sensors.
