METHODOLOGY
The methodology used in the course is “learning by doing” in the form of a guided tutorial. The teacher, after briefly explaining some concepts and approaching the neccesary tools, proposes a project in which students will have to create educational resources for the class.
The teacher then becomes a support, helping the students in their learning experience, at the end of the course there will be a test to assess the learning outcomes and the knowledge gained.
RESULTS
- The participant enters the context of the history and development of robotics
- The participant becomes familiar with the programming language
- The participant increases their computational logic skills
- The participant knows the basic structure and elements of a robot
- The participant knows how to create different programs in a robot
- The participan learns to communicate with a robot
