Arduino & Edison - CodingPro Education Australia

Robotics: Arduino & Edison

Age 9+

School Holidays Bootcamp: 1-3 days

Regular Term: 8-10 Weeks

Course Overview

Students will learn the fundamentals of Arduino robotics. It will include practical and theoretical knowledge of building a robot.

Introduction to robotics, our kit components, functionality of these components and how they work together
Introducing coding, Arduino IDE, how computers read code (binary numbers), bits and bites, functions and keywords in the C language, how the code affects our components
Fundamentals of Electrical engineering, how our components have been created, how the components function through these fundamentals of electrical engineering
Schematics and power, ensures we have connected components correctly, power sources for sustainability and experiments

Motors, how they operate internally, how our code affects the speed and direction, applications and experiments
Sensors, how they function internally, how our code affects a sensor, different types of sensors and experiments with our sensor
Mini project utilising gained knowledge and skills in preparation for the own robot.

Arduino & Edison Robots

We don’t just use one kind of robot – we will use several robots on different days. We will provide a conceptual framework asto how robots work, how does mechanical co-ordination make the robot to complete desired task. Students will also have experience in different projects depending on their age and previous experience with robots.

Action-Packed Days

Our camp-managers are all fully quali”ed primary school teachers with valid “rst-aid training. Look out for them wearing their orange t-shirts – they will greet you and sign your child in each day.

Micro: Bits

Make it! Code it!

Quick projects in MakeCode, Python & Scratch to help you get the most out of the micro:bit’s features – and have fun!

micro:bit is a pocket-sized codable computer that is simple and easy to use. The versatility of the Micro:Bit allows it to be scaled from ages young as 8 years old, all the way through to university and beyond. Thanks to this affordable platform students all over the World are able to learn the skills of the future such as, critical thinking, problem solving and entrepreneurship.

Edison

Levelling up

EdBlocks is perfect for introducing anyone to programming, and the EdBlocks teaching resources are ideal for students aged 7 to 10 years old.

EdScratch – Scratch-based coding with Edison

Need a programming language that is easy to learn but still offers a robust platform for computer science education? Working with students aged 10+ years old? Looking for a way to make the transition to using more complex programming structures approachable even with no prior coding experience?

EdScratch combines the ease of drag-and-drop programming with powerful functionality and versatility, perfect for developing solid computer science fundamentals.
