Robotics curriculum and training packages we have now or in development ·for middle school, high school, after school and entry level college programs:

1. Exploring Robotics with Electronics: An introduction to Electronics with Boe-Bot· (Available Now) Grades 8 and Up. Provides an introduction to robotics with an emphasis on electronics. ·This curriculum is great for high schools, or as a first course in robotics, or to earn a merit badge in robotics in an after school program. ·Colleges also use it as an introduction to Electronics, Mechatronics, Engineering, or other technology programs.· The curriculum provides step by step instructions with 3D models and videos to make it easy to assemble a robot from a kit and program it.··Three components provide presentations, simulations, and hands-on lab activities. Students take a hands-on approach to learning and build the Boe-Bot robot.· After assembly, students program the BASIC stamp microcontroller using PS2 BASIC and master programming concepts to control the Boe-Boe robot to follow a line, avoid obstacles, turn on lights and sounds, and interact with sensors.



2. Exploring Robotics with Programing: An Introduction to Programming with Scribbler and Python (Available June 2012)· Grades 10 and Up. Provides an introduction to robotics with an emphasis on programming. Great for high schools, after school programs, and entry level college programs, this is an excellent introduction to Computer Science, Computer Programming, Computer Engineering, Computer Information Science, or other related technology programs.· Two components provide presentations and hands-on lab activities. ·Lessons focus on programming the scribbler robot using MYRO and the Python language to access advanced features of the ipre Georgia Tech FLUKE board and more exact control of Parallax's Scribbler robot.· Activities include PC to robot communication, interacting with sensors, line following, taking photos, analyzing photos, creating insect-like behaviors and other AI techniques!



3. Exploring Robotics with Scribbler: An Introduction to Programming Graphically with the Scribbler S2 (Available July 2012) Provides an introduction to robotics for Grades 5 and UP.· Students work in teams and learn to program the Scribbler robot with easy to use visual programming blocks that fit together like puzzle pieces.· The Scribbler S2 Robot comes pre-assembled, providing an excellent introduction to robots and programming concepts.· Applications such as pen-based artwork, playing music, turning on LEDs, communication between robots and computers, line following and classroom competition are all part of the activities included in this curriculum.
