Re: Curriculum ideas/outline for full year robotics course?
Hi,
At our school we have a similar program to the proposal. Thru December we teach engineering and shop. This includes design and building challenges from day one. The first was machine to pop a balloon three feet away with some "random" parts. The mousetrap makes a great power source. As the fall goes on the students have 2 more design challenges and then make a robotic haunted house with elementary school students. This include pneumatics and programing. Then we have build and competition with the students doing the work. The rest of spring is training the next years leaders. Most students take this class for 2 years so the veterans help teach the course the second year. This way they get teaching and management skills to go along with the engineering skills. Our program started in 1995. Good luck in finding away that works for you.
