Exploration of Robotics:
Coding mBot for a Purpose
Skill Level: Intermediate
This course explores: What can a robot do? and How can it be coded to do so? Through inquiry-based and hands-on learning activities, learners will apply their knowledge of how robots’ function, and code in the mBlockly application to program their own mBot robots for a specific purpose. Hardware required.
Exploration of Drones:
Coding with Tello
Skill Level: Intermediate
This course is an exploration of the applications of drones in the real world. Through a series of inquiry-based and hands-on learning activities, students will integrate algebraic thinking, programmatic knowledge, and use case scenario abstraction to control through the Tello application. This course uses Scratch based coding. Hardware required.
Exploration of 3D Development:
Using Tinkercad
Skill Level: Intermediate
Students will learn how 3D printers work, practical applications of 3D printing, and technical details. Students will learn how to build, orient, cost out, and modify through Tinkercad and use Thingiverse to download items for print, or modify projects created by others. Hardware required.
Exploration of the Internet of Things: Designing an IoT Device
Skill Level: Intermediate
Students explore the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet, collecting and sharing data. Using engineering design and block coding, students design their own IoT device for uses in society. Hardware required.
Exploration of Invention & Entrepreneurship:
From Idea to Market
Skill Level: Intermediate
Students explore what makes something an invention and study the history of some inventions that have shaped our way of life. Students learn problem-identification, problem-solving and creativity skills. Hardware required.
Exploration of Artificial Intelligence: Character AIsland
Skill Level: Intermediate
Welcome to Character AIsland: a digital paradise where you can meet and interact with AI replicas of celebrities, fictional characters, historical figures, and even yourself! Throughout this course, students will learn the basics of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Chatbots as they train and program their very own virtual characters using Scratch and Machine Learning for Kids. Students will explore text, voice, and image recognition as they craft realistic AI chatbots bursting with personality.
