An Introduction to Robotics: Let's Construct a Simple Robot for Non-US Students.
Ms. Monica from ConstructU
During this STEM workshop, students will study Robotics by building a simple Robot.
Class Experience
Overview/Challenge During this workshop, students will construct a fun, simple (not really, but with instruction, it seems that way) Robot. Students will study Robotics by building a simple robot. They will learn Robotics components, gears, motors, and electricity. All workshops are fun and hands-on. Students will review the engineering design methodology. The last class may be shorter than one hour, depending on your student's progress. **** 7-year-olds may require some help from...
Teaching Goals • Understand "What is a Robot?" • Understand Electricity and Electronics. • Understand the components of Robotics? • Understand how gears, motors, and switches work.
Greetings, my name is Monica Burch, and I have a degree in Engineering. However, I have been teaching for over two decades now. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) from The University of Alabama, where I specialized in Power. During my college years, I worked with reputable companies such as Gulf Power, Salt River Project, and Colorado UTE for Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). Later on, I pursued a career in software engineering and worked with notable companies like Dow Jones and Merrill Lynch. One winter day, I picked up my oldest son from a play date. He had spent the whole day playing video games indoors due to the cold weather. As a mother, I knew it was not easy to entertain two active boys during such weather conditions. However, I felt there was a better way for them to spend their time. This led me to start ConstructU in 2003. ConstructU aims to provide educational enrichment to children by exposing them to science, engineering, and technology while introducing mathematical concepts.
