Basic Robotics with LEGO SPIKE Essential for children 6-10 years old
7-week course | Basic Level | Saturday Jan 11 - Mar 8 (no class 15, Feb 22), 2025 | 13:30 - 15:00
Language: English
Basic Level is designed for children who are just starting out and have no experience with LEGO robotics. Here they will learn the basics of robotics, with no previous knowledge required.
At this level, children will become interested in conscious exploration of the world, building robot models with their own hands, learning the basics of mechanics, using learned mechanisms to create their own robots, and learning the basics of programming with the block-based LEGO SPIKE Essential set.
Main goals
Robotics basics
Students will learn the working principles of robots, different components and sensors, and learn how to build and program their own robot models.
Mechanics
The children will learn the basic principles of mechanics, such as forces, motion, transfer of motion and transmission of force through mechanisms such as worm gear drives, gears, belt drives and many others. They will learn how to apply this knowledge to create efficient and functional robots.
Programming
Students will learn the basics of programming using a block-based programming language (LEGO SPIKE Essential). Included in this program are commands such as motion, speed, command repetition, operation of various sensors (motion sensor, tilt sensor, etc.). They will learn how to create sequences of commands to control the movement and interaction of their robots and develop algorithms for troubleshooting.
Data
The 7 classes will take place in 2025 on: Jan 11, Jan 18, Jan 25, Feb 1, Feb 8, Mar 1, Mar 8 (no class on Feb 15, Feb 22).
