Robotics

Robotics 1

Robotics 1 (preK and up) is an exploration of robots vs. remote controlled cars.  We learn the parts of a robot and how to interact with different sensors on the robot. We use barcodes to program the robot and no code writing is involved in this class.  Kids in this camp receive an Edison robot and a booklet of barcodes that they can continue exploring at home.  The Edison robot can grow with your child through industry level coding.

Robotics 2 and 3

Robotics 2 and 3 (kindergarten and up) are an introduction to drag and drop programming, perfect for anyone interested in coding physical toys.  Kids in Robotics 2 receive an Edison robot that can grow with them through the drag and drop programming and into Python, an industry standard coding language that real adults are using!  Robotics 3 is an expansion of the coding knowledge developed in level 2.

Robotics 4 - STEM EdCreate

Robotics 4 (2nd Grade and up) is the opportunity to tackle a range of engineering, coding, and design challenges.  We'll be adding new pieces to our Edison bots that are compatible with LEGO and will inspire your child to explore and create even more robot solutions once they return home.  This class is for students who are 7-10 years old who have taken Robotics Levels 2 and 3 with me.  Students must bring previously purchased Edison robots to class.  Students in this class will receive a LEGO compatible kit that is theirs to take home.  Most builds in this class require 2 Edison bots to work together.  Students can borrow a second Edison bot from Miss Amanda, bring their own two, work with a sibling, or purchase a second robot ($40) from Miss Amanda or online at MeetEdison.com.

Robotics has become a wonderful part of my life.  After having the pleasure of taking a Carnegie Mellon University course aimed at teachers who are teaching robotics I feel on fire with the love of all things robotics and coding.  I can't wait to share that with you!  I'm currently teaching Elementary Robotics for Cherry Creek School District and I have a number of upcoming SUMMER robotics camps that I'm hosting (not affiliated with Cherry Creek Schools).  Feel free to shoot me an email at InitiateLearningCO@gmail for more information.
