Lesson Summary
This is a STEAM lesson, which adds the Arts to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). This lesson forms part of the Empathise phase of a Design Thinking unit focusing on robotics but can also be implemented as a stand-alone session. In this lesson, students learn about the history and use of robots and robotics. They then explore a robotic device, developing their understanding of how to manipulate it by experimenting with associated software.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- understand the broad and undefined nature of the field of robotics
- have a general understanding of the history of robotics
- be familiar with programming techniques of a robotic device.
Success criteria
Students can:
- explain what robotics is
- describe key developments in the history of robotics
- use an App to control a robotic device
- create a range of commands which control movement, sound and light
- explore different methods for giving commands.
