List of some robotics activities

In our STEM Club, we also offer robotics classes that introduce students to various types of robots and their functionalities. Here is a list of the robotics activities and projects we cover:

1. Floor Robots with Botley, the coding robot:

• Movement and Distance: Use the Botley robot to learn about programming movements for specified distances.
• Obstacle Avoidance: Program Botley to navigate and avoid obstacles.
• Line Following: Explore line-following programming techniques with Botley.
• Storytelling Sequencing: Engage in project-based learning by programming Botley to sequence a story.
• Mathematics Integration: Connect robotics with mathematics by utilizing Botley to practice subtraction and addition.

2. Microbit Programming:

• Beginner Projects: Introduce students to the basics of Microbit programming through beginner-level projects that explore concepts such as displaying messages, creating animations, and sensing inputs.

3. mBot Robot:

• Precision Driving: Learn to control the mBot robot with precision, making accurate movements.
• Ultrasonic Sensor Programming: Explore the functionality of ultrasonic sensors and program the mBot to detect and respond to objects in its proximity.
• Line Following Sensor: Utilize line following sensors on the mBot robot to enable it to follow lines and navigate designated paths.
• Competitions: Engage in exciting competitions with the mBot, such as maze-solving challenges, sumo bot battles, and self-driving car races.

4. Arduino Programming:

• Electronics and Programming: Dive into Arduino programming to learn about electronics, circuits, and coding.
• Project Design: Design and build various projects using Arduino, such as a traffic light simulator, LED chaser, smart dustbin with automated lid opening, and automatic water dispenser.
• Smart Home Automation: Explore the world of home automation using Arduino, integrating Bluetooth or smartphone commands to control home appliances such as bulbs.

By incorporating robotics into our STEM Club curriculum, we aim to provide students with hands-on experiences in coding, electronics, and engineering, fostering their problem-solving skills and igniting their passion for technology and innovation.
