Work with a robotics system especially designed for younger students to create, build and program their own real working robots. Working in small teams, students will explore with the PicoCricket Robotic Systems to build and experiment with robotics while using advanced sensors including light, sound, touch and motion. Students will also work with a floor robot. Our logo programmed robots can make music, draw and even do a robotic dance.  As the students skills grow, the challenges & problems they solve increase in complexity. Young programmers will be able to write their own programs to send our robot through a number of courses and missions. In this unique class, students are able to go from the virtual computer activity to the concrete 3-dimentional one

This course provides students with a great introduction to programming and robotics.  Daily challenges may include robotic bowling, solving challenging mazes, navigating an obstacle course, and finally competing in the Robo-Olympics.  Robotic building projects may include: a robotic animal, a robotic grabbing arm, robotic car, a robotic reaction game and more.  This exciting course will challenge your learners to use their minds and creativity with hands on projects and explore many different possibilities.
