About Robotics
Automation and Robotics course utilizes Project Lead the Way (PLTW curriculum). PLTW develops STEM curriculum for k-12 grades, providing students with project based learning which allows them to apply what they know and develop unique solutions. Using VEX Robots, students will design and construct a remote-controlled robotic devices that can lift, throw, climb, gather.
Second semester students will be engaged in Design and Modeling where they will discover the design process and develop an understanding of the influence of creativity and innovation in their lives. They are then challenged and empowered to use and apply what they’ve learned throughout the unit to design a therapeutic toy for a child who has cerebral palsy.
