Intro to Robotics Design & AR Coding for High Schoolers

GRADES: 9-12

LENGTH: 1 week

DESCRIPTION

High School Robotics Explorers (Grades 9-12) will embark on an introductory journey into the world of robotics and Holographic AR in this one-week Robotics Engineering & AR coding camp. This camp offers a foundational experience, where students will learn about basic robotics engineering and AR technology. They'll remotely navigate diverse environments and interact with robots capable of performing remarkable tasks. This camp is a gateway to understanding how technology extends its reach, setting the stage for future technological explorations in robotics and AR.

This camp is fully accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACS WASC).

No Prior Knowledge in robotics or coding is required.

Fun outdoor and indoor activities and plays are part of the camp experience.

Picture this: being able to teleport to any place in the universe, from the uncharted depths of the ocean to the furthest corners of the galaxy, overseeing robots that sense, interact, and achieve remarkable feats. This vision encapsulates the magical synergy between robotic engineering and Holographic AR, where technology transcends boundaries.

The following hardware will be provided in the camp for each student:

·         Robot: a smart robot, featuring programmable sensors, Mecha Arms, and Mecanum Wheels with Omni Directional Tires, to explore sophisticated sensor technologies and advanced control systems.

Leveraging Holographic AR, participants can remotely launch their robots and teleport into the robotics world, seamlessly connecting the physical and digital dimensions in an innovative manner.

A Week of Robotics Exploration: Students will learn Robotics engineering concepts, robotics coding and sensor control basics, basic Python coding, basic AR design and programming with robotics control, interactive storytelling, debugging and problem solving and more.  This experience serves as a stepping stone, laying a solid foundation for future pursuits in technology and engineering. They will enjoy the unique opportunity to remotely launch and control their robots within an AR framework, blending the physical and digital worlds in an innovative educational setting.

What is the magic of Integem Robotics Engineering Camp over other Robotics Camp?

The Integem Robotics Engineering Camp offers a unique and enchanting experience, skillfully blending traditional robotics education with the innovative world of augmented reality (AR), while also enhancing the standard robotics engineering curriculum for this age group. Here's how:

Advancing Beyond Traditional Robotics: The camp builds upon the basics of traditional robotics education, introducing students to more advanced aspects of robotics suitable for their age. This progression allows them to explore beyond standard robotics classes, engaging with more complex sensors and control systems. The focus is on programming robots for more interactive and responsive actions, tailored to their learning level without overwhelming them.

Enabling the Magic of Teleport and Seamlessly Remote Robot Partnership with Holographic AR: At the heart of This camp is the captivating integration of Holographic AR technology. This cutting-edge feature empowers students to remotely operate their robots, ushering them into visionary, simulated worlds. With Holographic AR, participants gain the extraordinary ability to guide and collaborate with their robots across diverse and challenging environments – some even potentially inaccessible or hazardous – all while safely anchored in a virtual space. This technology not only transforms robotics designs but also expands the horizons of interactive learning, allowing students to experience the thrill of futuristic scenarios from the comfort of home.

Fostering Essential Skills: Beyond the foundational aspects of traditional robotics education, the camp emphasizes the development of critical skills such as problem-solving and precision. As students see their programmed robots and AR projects come to life, they become more invested in the process of tweaking and perfecting their designs. This cycle of observation, refinement, and improvement cultivates persistence and adaptability, essential traits for success in the rapidly changing world of technology.

Students will learn the following:

• Introductory Holographic AR concepts (High School Level)
• Introductory Holographic AR logic (High School Level)
• Introductory Holographic AR coding (High School Level)
• UI/UX (user interface/user experience) (High School Level)
• Intermediate Robotics Engineering (High School Level)
• Introductory Robotics Coding (High School Level)
• Introductory visual communication (High School Level)
• Interactive storytelling (High School Level)
• Debugging and Problem-solving (High School Level)
• Intermediate Robotics Coding and Design (High School Level)
• Design Thinking process based on Stanford University Design School curriculum (High School Level)

Robotics Camp Safety Note: Mandatory Requirements for Participation

Prioritizing Health and Safety: At our Robotics camp, ensuring the safety of each student is paramount. Given the nature of the activities and the diverse needs of our participants, we have established essential safety requirements:

• Handling Components with Care: All students are required to handle small parts with both hands, ensuring control and safety. It is mandatory to avoid putting any parts in the mouth. This is a strict requirement due to choking hazards and health concerns.
• Mandatory Adherence to Instructions: To maintain a safe and productive learning environment, it is essential that students follow the teacher's instructions at all times. This is not just for their own safety, but also for the safety of others in the class.
• Appropriate Behavior with Components: Students must handle all robotics components with care to prevent any damage or injury. Actions such as throwing parts are strictly prohibited and could lead to immediate removal from the camp.

Important for Parents/Guardians: Please evaluate whether your child can safely adhere to these safety requirements. This is especially crucial if your may need additional support or accommodation. Our teachers strive to provide individual attention, but it is not possible to monitor each student every second. If you have concerns about your child's ability to adhere to these safety requirements, please contact us to discuss further.

Adherence to these rules is non-negotiable and crucial for ensuring the safety and enjoyment of all participants. We are committed to creating a stimulating, educational, and safe environment, fostering a passion for technology and innovation.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in creating a safe learning space for all.
