Educative robotics and coding with Arduino
Many schools are interested in starting robotics classes or integrated some sessions in their classes. However they don´t always have the means to do it.
This course will give the participants the opportunity to see how to incorporate robotics in their classes and to practice as much as possible to be comfortable with teaching using robotics.
Description
The objectives of this course are:
- Provide teachers with practical ideas on how they can incorporate technology into their lessons
- Promote basic training on topics such as controls, automatisms, robots and programmable machines
- Familiarize teachers with current use of robotics and coding in nowadays education trends
- Providing innovative ways of teaching STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) using problem solving, object analysis, use of scales…
- Promote new digital competences among teachers
- Developing actively and constructively students’ involvement in the work at class using coding and robotics
- Enlarge teachers technic vocabulary and familiarize them with different programming languages
- Exchanging experiences in cooperative and collaborative learning process as long as in creativity and innovation
- Sharing of good practice in teaching and learning, using coding and robotics, enabling teachers to become confident and competent enough to create an interactive classroom
Learning objectives
The Learning outcomes of the course are:
- Understand the basics of block programming
- Creation of animations and video games
- Learn to code mbot, lights and sensors
- Understand how Arduino IDE works and the different elements
- Learn to code lights, switch, ultrasonic sensor and servomotor
- Design and creating circuits with Tinkercad
- Discover and ilplement 3D design and circuits creation
- Learn to code Arduino potentiometer, IR sensor and DC engine
- Foster intercultural exchanges between different cultures and countries
- Go deeper into how to give and receive feedback
- Engage in a process of self-reflection through open conversations and new cultural experiences
Methodology & assessment
The approach used is highly practical, based on the expertise of the course trainers who have different years’ experience. Practical simulations will be carried out for each topic.
The objective of the practical activities is the simulation of the use of robots and coding during lessons.
ASSESSMENT:
During the mobility, the participant is continuously monitored and mentored by ESMOVIA trainer. Through the completion of the different activities and tasks proposed by the trainer, the achievement of the different learning objectives will be assessed.
We will also evaluate the quality of the course provided with the use of a satisfaction questionnaire at the end of the course. We will use participants' feedback to improve.
Materials, digital tools & other learning resources
Upon your arrival, you will receive a welcome kit with all the essential course materials and program information.
Throughout the course, you will have access to EsMobile app designed to support your mobility experience.
We will provide you with exclusive access to ESMOVIA cloud platform, where you can find: all presentations, training materials, resources used during the session as well as pictures and videos taken throughout the week.
Certification details
We will provide the participant with a certificate proving the attendance of the course.
Finally, Europass mobility will be issued to all participants. This document will describe all the skills acquired during this course.
