This will be the first year for our small, rural school to have a computer science course. Student will be using these resources to build on their basic programming skills and to relate what they are learning to applications in the real technology world. These kits and resources will allow students to implement their coding skills with hands-on robotics projects. Students will program the Ozobot and Sphero robots using the Scratch and Python programming languages. They will complete challenges to make the robots perform specific tasks to test their programming skills. They will be using the Raspberry Pi microcomputer and accessories to learn basic computer architecture and more advanced robotic concepts. They will use the video camera to document their tasks and projects, and to create demonstration videos of computer science and robotics topics. With an emphasis on computer science and STEM, these materials will make for a much more powerful and meaningful learning experience for these students.
