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!

 

Additional Info for Parents:

NextGen SmartyPants curricula are designed to show students how to apply their Math skills to real-world applications in a fun and engaging way.  In our programs, students should feel like they are playing and enjoy the process of learning so that they will want to learn more.

Amazing Animals Robotics is an introductory course in Robotics designed for students in Grades K-2 and Grades 3-6.  These Students are taught at the same time, but with different technical capabilities, lesson plans, and curricula. Students are organized by Grade and learn Engineering, Coding, and Math concepts appropriate for their Grade level:

  • Students in Grades 3-6 may apply their Math skills in Multiplication, Division, Ratios, Percentages and Coding skills based on the Scratch graphical programming language or Introductory Python
  • Students in Grades K-2 may apply their skills in Counting, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Coding skills based on Scratch Junior graphical programming language.

Amazing Animals Robotics contains 18-weeks of instruction. Students having registered for this program previously will have their curricula adjusted so that they can pick up where they left off.
