Robotics in the Classroom
A series of robotics competitions using Lego EV3, Boe-Bot, ShieldBot with Arduino, and cyber:bot with micro:bit.
Overview
Robotics in the Classroom helps students build upon the foundational concepts of coding and robotics in small, project-driven, hands-on challenges from RARC, the Regional Autonomous Robotics Circuit. By integrating the Lego EV3, BoeBot, ShieldBot with Arduino, or cyber:bot with micro:bit, students practice the basics of block-based or text-based programming and how the code they develop can interact with sensors. Throughout the challenges, students engage various STEM, STEAM, and liberal arts conversations based on the challenges they are working through.
