Description

Amazing Animals Robotics is an introductory course in Robotics designed for Students in K-5.  In this course, Students are organized by Grade and taught Engineering concepts appropriate for their Grade level.  In some projects, all Students may begin at the same basic design; however, older Students are taught more advanced topics and asked to modify their design by applying the math skills appropriate for their Grade level:

  • Students in Grades 4-5 apply their skills in Division, Ratios, Percentages.  Advanced Students apply skills in introductory Geometry and Algebra
  • Students in Grades 2-3 apply their skills in Addition, Subtraction, and Multiplication
  • Students in K-1 apply their skills in Counting, simple Addition, and Fine Motor Skills

Course Description

Lions and Tigers and Bears... Oh my!

In Amazing Animals Robotics, students create their own robotic animals. Build them; code them; and then make them RRROOOAARR!!!  Students have fun and learn about engineering, coding, circuits, and sensors as they build Dinosaurs, Dolphins, Panda Bears, and much more.  

Each week, students build a different animal robot, learn about the animal and its behavior in its natural habitat, and then are provided instructions on how to build it using LEGO bricks, gears, and pulleys as they learn Engineering concepts. They add motors, circuits, and sensors for the electronics. And then connect via Bluetooth and code their robot to react to its environment autonomously.

Students have fun and apply the Math skills they are learning in school. Your child is sure to have a wild time as they build, learn, and play!
