Lessons
Welcome to Robotics
This session introduces students to Robotics & makes them understand how hardware & software can be connected. This is accomplished with the help of a maze game. (Involves Teacher's kit).
Ping-Pong
In this session, we are making a ping-pong game on pictoblox, wherein the paddle can be controlled with tactile buttons. (Involves Teacher's kit).
Tom and Jerry
In this session, we are making the student recall well all the coding fundamentals. This will be accomplished by making a tom & jerry chasing game.(Involves Teacher's kit).
Robotics Foundation
Tokyo Drift
This session inculcates assembling the robot in horizontal mode, playing the pre-built firmware and additional driving controls. This session makes the student understand controlling the robot remotely & controlling the motor to drive the robot in different directions.
Roll 'n' Race
In this session, the student learns how to involve hardware to control sprites. This is accomplished by making a 2 player game wherein student will also get introduced to tactile buttons.
Think it, Lit it
In this session, we are making the student develop different customized moving animations on 7 x 5 led display.
The Discotheque
In this session, we are introducing touch sensors & it's response to the student. This is accomplished by making a robo piano that plays different musical notes on touch.
AI & ML for Robots
Mirror mirror on the wall
This session introduces the student to Artificial Intelligence, uses of AI & applications of AI. The student explores face detection extension in this session & makes robot mimic human expressions.
Fruit Ninja
This session makes the student familiar with the video sensing application of AI. Here, the student makes a fruit ninja game which can be played by video sensing controls.
Global Weather Station
This session introduces student to the speech recognition application of AI. Here the quarky acts like Alexa & it detects human speech. On speech recognition, it fetches & displays weather data.
Guess What
This session introduces the student to understand analyzing live camera feed thereby detecting & identifying various objects based on pre-trained models.
Functional Robotics
Digital Clock
This session makes the student apply the pre-learned concepts of AI & speech recognition to fetch the real-world time, date & day data & thereby making a speech recognition-based digital clock.
Sweeping Bot
This project introduces student to actuators & their applications in real life. This session covers the concepts of servo motor, it's calibration & operation. This is accomplished by making a sweeping bot
Tilt & move
This project introduces student to the concept of accelerometers. It takes into application the accelerometer of the mobile phone & thereby moving the robot based on mobile tilt.
Check the edge
This project introduces student to Ultrasonic sensor, it's connections & working. This is accomplished by making an automated edge detector robot.
Parental Guidance
This program is best suited for kids aged 7 years and above. Younger kids will need significant adult assistance as coders are required to manage technical issues that may arise during class.
