Modular robotics kits, like LEG Mindstorms, offer a great opportunity for students to learn about robotic components and programming. But how does this apply to the rest of the world? In this session, you will “hack” a radio-controlled toy car and turn it into a robotic car. Along the way, you will learn about the car’s electromechanical system, and the robotic brain’s control capabilities. " cpowell@jeffco.k12.co.us High/Middle/Upper Elementary 6) – Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations. Students: (a) understand and use technology systems, (b) select and use applications effectively and productively, (c) troubleshoot systems and applications. And (d) transfer current knowledge to learning of new technologies.
