The program offers a hands-on, project-based learning experience developed and taught by experienced science and engineering technology teachers, with mentorship from Boston University engineering students.
Boston University U-Design: Introduction to Robotics is a hands-on summer program where middle school students explore the exciting world of robotics. Participants will dive into building and coding mechanical marvels using LEGO Spike Prime robotics kits. The curriculum focuses on practical application, allowing students to assemble, program, and customize robots that can interact with their surroundings. Through engaging design challenges, students will develop creativity and problem-solving skills. The program also introduces fundamental programming concepts using Scratch, a beginner-friendly platform, enabling students to make their robots follow commands and perform various tasks. Students will work in teams, fostering collaboration and communication as they tackle progressive challenges. The program culminates in a showcase where students present their robot creations to peers, instructors, and parents.
A typical day involves hands-on robot building and coding sessions using LEGO Spike Prime kits and Scratch, interspersed with design challenges and opportunities to refine robot creations.
This program is ideal for middle school students entering grades 6-9 in the fall who are curious about robotics and engineering, with no prior programming or building experience required.
