ROBOTICS/CODING 1

Instructor: Tracy Womack- La Colina JHS

June 14-18th

Wanna build a robot? You can! This class allows students to build and program the mBot by Makeblock. Students will learn basic coding structures like loops, functions, and iterations while engaged with their own robot. Then, experience the next level of robotics with the Airblock drone.  Whilst they play, students will learn block-based programming, the principles of aerodynamics, exercise logic and use their critical thinking skills. This class is designed for beginners, students who want to try robotics, but have no coding or robotics experience.

¿Quieres construir un robot? ¡Lo puedes hacer! Esta clase enseña a los estudiantes a construir y programar el mBot por Makeblock y drones.

ROBOTICS/CODING 2

Instructor: Brian Malcheski- La Cumbre JHS

June 21-July 2nd

Ready for a challenge?  In this class, students will build and code VEX 5 robots. This course expands on topics introduced in the previous course, the student must be comfortable with coding.  This is not a beginner course.  Once students build their robots, they will code them with VEX Coding Studio, beginning with block programming and as their comfort level grows transitioning into text programming with VEX C++. Student build teams will challenge each other to complete tasks with their robots.

Summer Arts
