Robotics and Coding
Embark on a 6-day odyssey into Robotics and Coding in scenic Madeira. Guided by expert João Garrido, this immersive 30-hour course empowers educators to nurture computational thinking using LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3. Explore the craft of building robots, coding, and problem-solving in a dynamic learning environment.
Description
Coding is basically to write instructions for a robot or computer program to read and then execute. Students have to analyses the task they want the robot to complete, design the code to make it happen, and then send it to the robot to view the outcome. Robotics allows students to extrapolate their thinking to the real world as they go through trial and error until the task is accomplished and the robot executes the originally intended task. In addition to executing and completing tasks effectively, robotics and coding help students think creatively and analytically, approach issues from different angles, and create quick and sustainable solutions.
In this course you will learn the basics of Robotics and Coding through the use of technology and engineering knowledge to construct a robot and through the programming of the robot to complete certain tasks.
This Course will help teachers to introduce their students to computer programming concepts using a mixture of direct teaching, exploration, and tutorials from the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 Software and Programming app.
The course will be very practical, combining theory with practice, group work and discussion with hands-on phases in which the participants will have the opportunity to create and program their own robot.
