Robotic Coding Training (For Middle School Students)

Educational content and goal: 

In this training, participants will learn the basic concepts of robotics and coding field, they will be able to code the commonly used Arduino robotics and coding sets with Mblock, a block-based programming tool. In addition, participants will also learn about 3-dimensional design issues in the Tinkercad environment. At the end of the training, the participants;

They will be able to explain the concept of an algorithm and create the necessary algorithm for solving problems.
Tinkercad will be able to perform block-based coding with Arduino in a simulation environment.
They will be able to recognize the components of Arduino robotic sets and explain their functions.
LEDs, resistors, indicators, sensors, motors, etc. found in Arduino sets using the mBlock tool. they will be able to run the components by coding.
He will be able to make 3D design in Tinkercad environment.

Target Audience: 6,7 and 8 in the period when the training was opened. students who are in the classroom or have completed these classes

Number of Participants: between 8-13 (Participants do not need to have prior knowledge of robotics and coding. Dec.)

Place of education: Faculty of Education A Robotics and Coding Workshop on Block A127. (Participants do not need to bring a computer and robotic kit)

Total Training Time: 25 Hours
