Course: Camas STEM Robotics 101
Goals & Required Resources
Support Website: http://chs.camas.wednet.edu/robotics/
This introductory STEM Robotics master curriculum uses the Lego EV3 and EV3 software to teach a full STEM Robotics course that emphasizes coding and engineering problem solving.
This curriculum is divided into 6 Units, each about 6 weeks long, and some of which contain lessons that include the "NXT Video Trainer 2.0" product from Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Academy. (This product is now available free online from CMU's CS2N Courses site). These self-paced learning-to-program videos are supplemented with lessons on robotics technologies, explicit math and science concepts, and the Engineering Process, in order to round out a complete STEM curriculum. This curriculum also makes use of the training video clips and modules embedded in the student editon of the EV3 software.
Site Navigation & Structure
Use the "+" boxes in the left-hand Navigation Pane to quickly move through the hundreds of pages of content in the curriculum. By clicking on any item in the Navigation Tree, that item will turn red in the tree and its content will be displayed in this right-hand pane.
Each Unit is broken into several lessons, each of which typically include Objectives, an Instructor's Guide, Primary Instructional Material, Differentiated Instructional Material (Alternative, Extended, and Supplemental), as well as Formative and Summative Assessments. All Units end with a design-from-scratch Engineering or Group Challenge that ties together all the learning-to-date into an open-ended culminating design project.
