Introduction to VEX Robotics

roboticCourse
eMentoring & Entrepreneurs

Control Robots

Graphical Coding

Team Projects

In this course, students will learn the basics of robotics and understand concepts. They will control and program robots with the graphical coding language of RobotC. Later, they will use sensors and develop projects with VEX robots. VEX Robotics Curriculum has been created by Carnie Mellon Robotics Academy to teach STEM. We are specifically using Virtual Robotics plus project-based VEX IQ hardware which is the VEX IQ Robotics starter kit for elementary students during our project time.

 

Here are some highlights of our robotics program:

 

Advance coding skills:

We teach RobotC programing language which is graphical programming with the capability of transitioning to text-based coding. We will primarily be using virtual robotics to implement our code.

 

Skill Building:

We teach STEM, leadership, collaboration, innovation, creativity, and problem-solving.

 

Transitions to competition-level robotics:

As students progress with follow-up courses, they may join and participate in nationwide competitions.

 

Future potential to acquire certification from Carnegie Mellon University:

As enthusiastic students progress with follow-up courses they may accomplish a higher level to be able to apply for a certificate from Carnegie Mellon with a $50 fee. Students will be able to build a college portfolio as they earn badges through VEX curriculum that continues through high school.

 


 

Projects in the summer camp:

Students will learn how robots work. Students will learn to control virtual and physical robots with codes. Students will perform simple projects where they will perform multiple independent tasks involving controlling sensors (color sensor, touch LED sensor, gyro sensor, distance sensor, bumper switch, and motor encoders). Students will become confident and competent in robotics.

Nextgen Kid (Robotics)

roboticCourse1

We designed three weeks of back-to-back Robotics camps for enthusiastic kids who would like to explore next-generation technologies and strengthen their robotics and coding skills. During those three weeks, they will start by designing different kinds of robots and understand the fundamentals. Later, they will learn how to code with graphical coding language and control robots embedded with sensors. In the third week, they will perform coding projects based on manipulating robots for specific tasks. At the end of the three weeks, they will make a transition to text-based coding.

 

Overall, the curriculum will provide to improve their design thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. We are teaching VEX Robotics Curriculum which has been created by Carnie Mellon Robotics Academy to teach STEM.

Biography

Chris Rogers earned his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at Stanford University, where he worked with Professor John Eaton on his thesis on particle motion in a boundary layer flow. Rogers joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Tufts School of Engineering in 1989. He is involved in a number of research areas, including particle-laden flows (a continuation of his thesis), telerobotics and controls, the slurry flows in chemical-mechanical planarization, the engineering of musical instruments, measuring flame shapes of couch fires, measuring fruit-fly locomotion, and engineering education (kindergarten to college). At Tufts, Rogers has exercised his strong commitment to teaching by exploring a number of new directions, including teaching robotics with LEGO bricks and teaching manufacturing by building musical instruments. His teaching work extends to the elementary school level, where he talks with over 1,000 teachers around the world every year on methods of introducing young children to engineering.
