Robotics. mBlock-based coding
Description
Throughout this course, students will explore core robotics concepts while programming and controlling their own robotic vehicles using the block-based environment mBlock. Key topics include motor control, direction and speed management, working with sensors, and developing logic-based solutions to real-world challenges.
Over a series of lessons, students will:
Children will learn how to:
- Control motors to direct movement and adjust speed
- Use ultrasonic sensors to detect obstacles and change the robot's behavior based on distance (smooth stopping, parking, and avoidance)
- Operate servo motors for advanced movements and interactive mechanisms
- Navigate mazes using decision-making algorithms
- Follow lines using light sensors and apply various line-following strategies
- Manipulate objects with a robotic claw
- React to light sources and program robots to move toward them
Each student’s learning path is personalized depending on their interests and goals, which are discussed at the time of course enrollment.
By the end of the course, students will gain a solid foundation in robotics, problem-solving, and block-based coding - empowering them to bring their own robotic ideas to life.
