Description

In Snapology's Real World Robotics class, students interested in technology will create robotic models inspired by real life robotic technologies. Students will learn about gear ratio, sensors, simple machines, and programming as they build alarm devices, earthquake detectors, robotic arms, and much more. Your child will have a blast exploring the world of robotic technologies as they build, learn, and play.

 

Throughout the program, we'll explore:

- Simple Machines: Whether learning about pulleys while creating robotic arms, or wheels and axles as they create their very own pull robots, students will see simple machines in action.

- Axles, Gears, and Motors: Students will actively experiment with these components to create their robots, while facilitating a deeper understanding of mechanics.

- Programming Skills: Whether making their build respond to motion and tilt sensors, adding loops, or creating fun sounds, children will learn valuable programming skills in an easy to use, drag and drop programming format.

- Teamwork/Partner Skills: Small groups and peer partners are key components of Snapology's approach. We encourage the development of healthy, respectful collaborations between students through group planning, sharing of materials, and fun partner experiences.
