MODULE 8/8, VIDEO 1/3
This course, ARDUINO-BASED ROBOTICS, introduces an Arduino-based robotic platform as a method for teaching STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). The course is designed for pre- and in-service teachers, and is also appropriate for youth leaders, coaches or parents who are interested in integrating robotics and programming into their courses.
Through self-paced, instructor-led tutorials, you’ll learn about:
– Arduino computer system
– robot construction, locomotion and autonomy
– sensors
– common robot challenges
The course uses the Parallax BOE-Bot Robot platform based on the Arduino Uno computer. Programming of the Arduino is supported on both PC and Macs.
The course offers five hours of video-based instruction from MSU Professor Brock LaMeres along with a series of hands-on activities building and programming the robotic platform.
INSTRUCTOR: Brock LaMeres is an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering who has taught engineering at MSU for the past 10 years and conducts research on how to use technology to teach the concepts of STEM. LaMeres also created the MSU robotics competition team that won the national championship at the NASA Mining Competition in 2010. He has extensive experience in online teaching.
