Download course description
No prior knowledge of robotics is required. Participants will learn to solder electronics, basic robotics concepts, and program autonomous robots to perform various tasks. Participants will have the opportunity to observe and learn the methodology required to teach robotics (project work based on solving problems).
Description:
Robotics workshops for educators are designed for project work with participants with the goal to encourage them to use robotics in their work with students.
Aims and objectives:
Encourage cooperation and teamwork among participants. Encourage the use of online problem-solving materials. Participants will know how to use Arduino-based boards in robotics, with the use of sensors and actuators. Participants will be able to create an application in the C++ programming language for robots to perform various tasks. Participants will create various practical programming projects.
Learning outcomes:
Demonstration methods and assignment of project tasks will be used in the work with the participants, with which the participants will learn to collaborate, think creatively and apply existing and new knowledge when solving problems. Furthermore, participants will be encouraged to work in teams and to use online sources of knowledge when searching for a solution.
