Who should take this course?

Students should take this course if they are excited by the prospect of working on high tech inventions, and the principles of engineering behind them. If you like participating in hands-on learning, building things, problem solving, and friendly competition, then this course is for you.

How We Teach

Robotics Engineering I is the foundation course for our Robotics Camps. We continues update our robotics curriculum with new available technology and new challenge tournament tables.

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. We encourage campers to develop conceptual prototypes exploring different models of robot designs. This experience enriches their knowledge of science, engineering and math. Students design completly autonous robots, so that once robots start to participate in a challege they are free of human intervention.

Our teaching method allows the student's imaginations to take root in their robots, allowing for multiple designs and creative ideas. 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, 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. 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 navigating their NXT Robots campers will be shown how to write their own programs for all challenges. They will learn to write programs using NXT programming and Robolab programming language. This is a great way to understand programming methodology at an early age.
