How We Teach
Our method of teaching Robotics is one that has been honed for several years. We have studied Robotics intrinsically over those years, and have participated in local Robotics tournaments as coaches and judges regularly.
We teach robotics as a whole subject. We not only teach them the robotics engineering but also the implication of robotics in fileld such as environmental, exploration, space and research sciences. We teach students about robotic design by giving them the hardware, software, and information they need to design, build, and debug their own robot. Our teaching method allows the student's imaginations to take root in their robots, allowing for multiple designs and creative ideas. We encourage campers to develop conceptual prototypes exploring different models of robot designs. This experience enriches their knowledge of science, engineering and math.
We challenge the students with competitions and challenges, which include mazes, robotic tightrope challenges, racing, sumo wresting, and more. We also challenge the students with a full blown competition table for NXT, which includes up to 9 individual challenges that must be finished with a time limit, requiring students to use their ingenuity and new-found prowess with robotics and sensors to complete the tasks(see video in upper-right). Educators around the world have recognized the value of competitions where students design and build their own robots and pit them against each other to navigate through obstacle courses. Such competitions enable students to more rapidly design prototypes and further refine their design process.
For VEX, we also bring a competition set for students, which asks the students to design their robots to perform difficult tasks, many of which require the use of multiple independent motors and complex programming skills such as writing subroutines.
