About the Course
Step into the realm of advanced robotics with our Sphero RVR program, tailored for students in upper primary and middle school. This program combines hands-on learning with computational thinking and engineering, utilizing the robust features of the Sphero RVR. Over two terms, students will deepen their understanding of computer science and robotics through creative and interactive challenges, designed to foster skills in coding, problem-solving, and innovation.
Program One
The first term centers on exploring the fundamentals of robotics using the Sphero RVR's unique capabilities. Students will engage with a variety of sensors and coding platforms provided by the Sphero Edu app. Through structured activities, they will learn to program using Draw, Block, and the beginning of Text coding canvases. Key lessons include navigating obstacle courses, understanding basic programming concepts, and engaging with sensors like accelerometers, gyroscopes, and light sensors.Â
Program Two
The second term builds on the foundational skills learned in last term and introduces more complex programming challenges. Students will combine the Sphero RVR with Microbit creating a unique synergy between these two devices to design and code for more advanced projects. This term also introduces elements of AI, allowing students to enhance the robot’s decision-making processes. Through these activities, they will gain deeper insights into how robotics can be integrated with emerging technologies like AI to solve more sophisticated problems, preparing them for future technological advancements.
