Our robotics for kids course is designed to teach the basics of robotics for kids. Our programs allow them to design, build and program a real robot using sensors, controllers, and actuators. With so many variations to choose from, the possibilities are limited only by the students’ imagination! Robot design and build helps kids of all ages boost their creative toolbox and promote multiple skills in a fun yet focused environment.
Students have access to a large number of robotic kits with varying levels of complexity. Each course will follow the structure below, but students are welcome to jump to a higher level if they are familiar with the basics. The structure we follow is:
1. Introduction to the concept of robots
2. Creation of 2D and 3D robots
3. Familiarisation with standard components
4. Introduction to standard programming languages
5. Building and programming of robotic kits
6. Creating new robots from base components
7. Introducing custom behaviour
This course is designed to promote multiple skills, including
- Maths
- Programming
- Scientific process
- Systems
- Problem solving
- Teamwork
