Robotics I Grades 6-7

Semester Course

If you love Legos then this is the course for you!  Students will be introduced to engineering and design using principles of physics.  Next, we move to basic robot building and coding.  Students will learn to program robots to navigate courses and complete tasks using attachments.

Robotics II Grades 7-8

Semester Course

This course provides a hands-on, minds-on program that uses challenges based on read world scientific problems to engage students in research, problem solving and engineering. Using the principles of design and engineering learned in Robotics I, students will be challenged to engineer more complex designs, create innovative solutions to problems and take their programming skills to the next level.    Prerequisite—Robotics I

Robotics III Grades 7-8

Semester Course

This course provides a hands-on, minds-on program that uses challenges based on read world scientific problems to engage students in research, problem solving and engineering. This course is designed for students interested in competing in robotics.  Students will utilize engineering, programming, and leadership skills to create a theme-based project that will be entered into competition with other area middle schools.  This class has additional time requirements outside of school. Prerequisite—Robotics I or II OR Participation in Competition Robotics in previous year. Attendance at competition events will be a required part of this program. (Application required)
