Robot – Build and Program Course Overview Robotics is an exciting, challenging science encompassing many facets of engineering including mechanical, electrical and computer science. This course uses Lego Mindstorm™ Robots to facilitate the understanding of computer programming concepts. Students will build their own robot, and then program the robot to complete various tasks using one or more of the several sensors including: touch, sound, ultrasonic, color, light. Course Goals and Learning Objectives The goal of this course is to provide a strong and creative foundation in computer science. This is a hands-on class with problem solving and algorithm development at its core. Topics include learning about program design, asynchronous event-driven programming, stepwise refinement, sequence, selection, iteration, using functions, and most importantly problem solving skills critical to become a successful computer programmer. The course will take the students through design, develop and implementation of their robots. This course promises an unforgettable experience!
