LEGO Mindstorms EV3-Advanced Building & Programming

Introduction

The LEGO Mindstorms Robotics system, which includes the EV3 Programming Software, can be as advanced or basic as possible. During the next level of EV3, you will learn advanced programming concepts and set a stronger foundation for building the imagination and creativity fundamental
to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math, also known as STEAM.
Through this advanced programming and robotics, you will use the
LEGO Mindstorms kits to introduce variables,
conditional pathways, data wire, display, timers,
mathematical calculations, and data logging.

We will explore some more advanced algorithms focusing on what we need for navigation. This knowledge will be beneficial for programming your robot to navigate an obstacle course or play a complex game, Like FLL. 
Whatever you choose, remember to let your inner kid come out to play, experiment, and most importantly, HAVE FUN!

LEGO Mindstorms EV3 – Programming with microPython

Introduction

EV3 has a Linux computer at its heart and can be programmed using several other programming systems such as Python, C++, Java or EV3 Basic.

Running these more advanced programming languages allows you to get your EV3 robot to do things that would not be possible with the standard EV3 programming system, such as making a drawing robot that uses EV3 Python.

In addition to empowering you to write programs that can do things that cannot be achieved with the standard icon-based EV3 programming system, another great reason to learn EV3 Python is that EV3 Python is a textual programming language, the kind professional programmers use. Learning a textual programming language (especially Python) can boost your career prospects enormously, whereas learning to program the EV3 with the standard icon-based system will have much less value professionally.

3D Modelling & Printing

robo

Introduction

Imagine if you can create anything you dream of. Every artist, sculptor, and designer knows the magic of creation begins from the moment an idea takes root. Kids are chockfull of ideas, but ideas can only go so far.

Imagine what happens if we empower them with a tool they can use to turn ideas into reality?

3D modelling translates an idea into a computer-aided design before a 3D printer takes the design and prints, adding materials layer by layer to form a shape. Creating something has never been easier; it’s almost magic!

From printing your very own toys to a colourful model house shaped like a dinosaur – the only limit is your imagination.

Mobile App Development

Introduction

Do you have an idea? Build an app and transform your idea into reality.

Coding (also called programming or developing) tells a computer, app, phone or website what you want it to do.

MIT App Inventor is an innovative beginner’s introduction to programming and app creation that transforms the complex language of text-based coding into visual, drag-and-drop building blocks. The simple graphical interface grants even an inexperienced novice ability to create a basic, fully functional app within an hour or less.
Teaching students to embrace computational thinking
Primary Objectives:

Promoting computer science education – Learning to code prepares kids for the world we live in today. There are tons of jobs and occupations that use the code directly, like web designers, software developers, and robotics engineers, and even more where knowing how to code is a huge asset—jobs in manufacturing, nanotechnology or information sciences.

Learning To Code Develops Problem Solving And Computational Thinking Skills – The skills that come with computer programming help kids develop new ways of thinking and foster problem-solving techniques that can have big repercussions in other areas.
Coding Is Fun! -Beyond the practical reasons for learning how to code, there’s the fact that creating a game or animation can be fun for kids.

Introduction to Python

python

Introduction

Python is a popular programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum and released in 1991.

It is used for:

• web development (server-side),
• software development,
• mathematics,
• system scripting.

Why Python?

• Python works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc.).
• Python has a simple syntax similar to the English language.
• Python has a syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer lines than other programming languages.
• Python runs on an interpreter system, meaning that code can be executed as soon as it is written. This means that prototyping can be very quick.
• Python can be treated in a procedural, object-orientated, or functional way.
