Beginners 1: 5-week session to cover the basics of the Micro:bits programming. We will work on basic challenges to lay the ground for the further exploration and building.
We will mail the robotics kit and accessories to your address.
In this program we are focusing on building robots powered by Micro:bit. The BBC Micro:bit is a tiny programmable computer, designed to make learning easy and fun while complex project can be accomplished. We start with the basic elements of Micro:bit programming, introduction to sensors and then move to the assembling the robot car to program and perform missions and challenges. Each student will have own robotic kit to work on individual and group projects. The program is hands-on project based where students learn the concept of sequencing and algorithm, develop logic and imagination. We learn to write and play music, to program compass, thermometer, create a radio connection between Micro:bits while discussing the nature of sound, radio and other science facts.
Requirements:
- The $75-deposit fee for the robotics kit will be required. Deposit is fully refundable after the equipment returned back to the Club.
- Your kid will need access to the computer/tablet with the internet connection where he/she will be working on programming tasks, challenges and projects. Also, we ask that student has additional devise with camera like tablet, phone, another computer or additional monitor in order to run the on-line conferencing and watch streaming from our club. If you want, we can provide you with the tablet – deposit required and will be fully refunded after return of the equipment.
