Introducing The Lesson

Modified 2020-09-02 by Peyton Strong

DO NOW: Have students get into groups and try to write on a board more modern uses of robots than the other groups.

Hook:

  • Robotics have become a seemless part of everyday life in the 21st century. As a generation raised in a technological era, we are able to easily overlook the idea of robotics. This will be an introduction lesson for students on the importance of robots for the world we are accostumed to.

Main Lesson

Modified 2020-09-05 by Peyton Strong

For navigating the book, teachers may open the site on the board to add visual aid to the book explanation Or students may open it themselves by using their designated laptops.

Navigating the Book/Resources will be as follows:

  • Sections

  • Units

  • Subsections

  • References and Resources

By the end of the course, students will have a completed quadcopter drone capable of flying with commands inputted into a terminal on their computers! With the content in the following lessons students will dive into: Safety Regulations, Hardaware, Software, and Additional Content.

Go over the vocabulary of a robot and a quadcopter found in the student book.

-Live Demo of Drone Here-

Modified 2020-09-05 by Peyton Strong

  • The best way for instructors to Demo their drone safely is recomended in an outdoors area. If this is not an option, a containment cage may be required. Crafting these cages may require netting and PVC pipes. For the safety of instrcutors and students, the drone should be 6 feet away when taking off.

  • Teachers can share their screen on a laptop while preparing to fly. The Javascript page with in the pidrone package can show the students the drone’s control panel alongside the IR sensor’s readings and camera image.

Cover the Why is it essential to learn about this? How do robotics help our communities in society? section in the student book.
