Suggestions for a middle school robotics curriculum
Hello all,
I've established a Mindstorms robotics program at Mott Children's Hospital on my campus, and I have a curriculum established for the first four sessions of it (to be spread out through the month of August) which consist of drivetrain lessons on torque and speed, lessons on different types of appendages, and matching challenges for said lessons. Each session lasts approximately two hours long.
Now, this may or may not be just a summer thing for me, as I'll be very busy during the school year, but if I do find the time to extend it through September and beyond, I will. I'll need more topics on which to base lessons/challenges on, though.
Anyway, getting to the point, what topics, besides what I have already mentioned, would you suggest that I could do for the lessons/challenges?
As always, thank you for your help,
Lisa
