Introducing students to the world of robotics in an interesting and engaging way. The goal is to teach students about the building and programming aspects of robotics as they relate to real-world issues in ocean exploration.

Introducing students to the world of not only building, but also programming basic robots. The robots in this unit will approach some of the designs of Leonardo da Vinci. Interestingly, robotics principles will be applied to some of the challenges da Vinci faced.

Students will use the Engineering Design Process to design, create, test and improve a variety of machines and mechanical systems. They will learn the basics of energy, traction, aerodynamics and durability while constructing roller coasters, extreme defense vehicles and an incredibly fast air-powered custom dragster.

Students will use Multimedia Fusion 2• to create their own video game. A platform game is a side-scrolling, Mario-like game where students program characters and a two-dimensional obstacle course. They attempt to avoid or overcome enemies and reach an end goal on multiple levels. At the end of the class, students will take home a copy of the game they create.

Students will use the Engineering Design Process to design, create, test and refine efficient systems for production. They will explore foundational concepts of industrial engineering such as assembly lines, safety, stamping, sorting and distributing materials. Students will see just how fun and creative industrial engineering can be as they make their own ice-cream factory and 3-D copies of designs.

Students will use the Engineering Design Process to design, create, test and refine basic solutions related to alternative energy and environmental issues. They will learn the principles behind crafting efficient wind-powered machines and discover how those machines can be used to help reduce the use of fossil fuels. During the culminating project, students will test different materials to discover which ones work most effectively.

Students will use the Engineering Design Process to design, create, test and refine several types of marine-based devices and vehicles. They will construct working prototypes that teach and reinforce the concepts of water transportation, underwater exploration, and harnessing the power of water. They will gain exposure to careers in naval, ocean and marine engineering, as well as naval architecture.

Video sensing allows students to design and program their own video games and then test them by interacting with the program via webcam. In this scratch program, students work together to create their own games, art and musical instruments while exploring.

The curriculum for the Robotics 101 program is designed to introduce students to both robot-building as well as programming. students will build robots to accomplish a specific task while using their imagination to make their robot better than the basic robot. They will discover the Engineering Design Process in a real world setting as they test their robots multiple times.
