DataEra IT Association is working on a project to provide hands-on learning experience and environment to young people on robotics science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Our instructors design step-by-step tutorials and interactive workshop helping children learn the latest technologies supporting by local professional volunteers. Our laboratory incudes Ez-robot, Lego mindstorms with vision capabilities, speech recognition, animations, and Artificial Intelligence using Blockly, RoboScratch, .NET programing languages.

• Minimum Operating System Requirements
• Windows 8.1 minimum (Windows 10 recommended)
• Intel Pentium or AMD 64 or 32 Bit 1.8 GHz CPU
• 6 GB RAM
• 200 MB free drive space

Robotics Program Overview

Objective:

This program is to provide hands-on learning experiences and environment to young people on robotics science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Our instructors design step-by-step tutorials and interactive workshops helping children learn the latest technologies supporting by local professional volunteers. Our laboratory includes Ez-robot, Lego mindstorms with vision capabilities, speech recognition, animations, and Artificial Intelligence using Blockly, RoboScratch, .NET programming languages.

 

Description:

This Robotics Program (RP) is planned to be kick off from Nov. 02, 2019. It has 10 classes. We will expect 8 students in each course. We introduce Ez-robot robot and Raspberry Pi.

 

This program consists of 10 classes, which are divided into lecture and lab practices. Students may be asked to bring a laptop on certain days for in-class coding activities and programming of the robot.

 

Expectations:

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• Understand the basics of a robot.
• Learn how to create a basic robotics project.
• Learn how to use different tools for robotics including simulation and visualization tools.
• Build and operate a robotic system that includes both software and hardware components
• Understand the key concepts used in robotics
• Assemble motors, sensors and microcontrollers into a working robot
