"Robotics: Block-based Coding, Level 4" is an exciting, hands-on course designed for children aged 8 and above, focusing on advancing their robotics and programming skills. This 10-lesson program introduces students to the concept of line following using two brightness sensors, enhancing their understanding of sensor-based navigation.
Participants will explore how brightness sensors detect contrasts between different surfaces and how robots can use this data to follow a path. They will program their robotic vehicles to navigate tracks, adjust speed based on sensor input, and optimize movement using control algorithms. Through practical projects, students will experiment with different track designs and refine their programs to improve accuracy and efficiency.
Throughout the course, children are encouraged to develop their creativity, problem-solving skills, and teamwork in a dynamic learning environment that makes robotics both fun and educational.
This course has 10 lessons. Classes run from 9.30 to 10.30 every Saturday
This course is ready for 8+ years old. Girls and boys are very welcome!
