Course # 2341

This course takes ROBOTICS 1 to the next level by introducing programming the VEX robots using ROBOTC. There will be the excitement of head to head competition to inspire and engage students in the STEM learning environment. Students will use what they have learned in level one to design, build, and program a mobile robot to play a sport-like game that will require an autonomous mode during the competitions using key STEM principles. STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines – science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. The overall objective of the course is to have the students compete head-to head against peers in the classroom, or possibly against other students from other districts in the VEX Robotics Competition. A modular and project-based approach will be used to teach the design process in a hands-on manner. The teachers will move the students through an actual engineering project in which the students will be producing a robot that is able to complete the designated task.
