Description
Guided Projects: WeDo Robotics
Explore real-world science and engineering concepts through hands-on robotics projects in this exciting WeDo course! Designed for young learners, this course introduces fundamental STEM concepts by engaging kids in designing, building, and programming simple machines and robots to solve real-life challenges.
What You’ll Learn
Each lesson in this course focuses on a unique real-world challenge, allowing students to explore different aspects of science, technology, and engineering through robotics.
- Pulling – Investigate how balanced and unbalanced forces affect movement by designing a pulling machine.
- Speed – Experiment with different factors that affect a car’s speed and learn how to predict motion.
- Robust Structures – Build an earthquake-resistant structure and test its strength using an earthquake simulator.
- Frog’s Metamorphosis – Model a frog’s life cycle and identify its key characteristics at each stage.
- Plants and Pollinators – Simulate how pollinators interact with flowers and help plants reproduce.
- Prevent Flooding – Design and program an automatic floodgate to manage water during heavy rain.
- Drop and Rescue – Engineer a device to minimize the impact of weather-related disasters on people, animals, and the environment.
- Sort to Recycle – Build a sorting machine that categorizes objects based on their shape and size.
Through these hands-on projects, students will develop problem-solving skills, creativity, and a deeper understanding of physics, biology, and environmental science. By the end of the course, they will have gained essential engineering and programming skills while bringing their own WeDo robots to life!
