Skill Level: Beginner
Start Your Robotics Adventure!
Ready to learn how to code and bring your very own virtual robot to life? This course is your perfect first step! No prior coding experience is needed – just bring your curiosity and get ready to explore the exciting world of robotics programming with fun, easy-to-use tools.
What is it? A beginner-friendly workshop for K-12 students to learn:
The basics of block-based programming using Blockly, specially for robots.
How to control a virtual robot's movements (forward, backward, turns) and its gripper (pick up, place).
The fundamental step-by-step workflow for programming a virtual robot.
How to complete a fun, guided robot project to practice your new skills.
What will you learn?
How to navigate and use the Python Blockly Editor, PNote, and the Virtual Leanbot Digital Twin.
The complete process: writing code with blocks, transferring it, and running it to control your virtual robot.
How to program your Leanbot to perform basic movements like moving forward, backward, and making simple turns.
How to use the robot's gripper to interact with virtual objects, like picking them up and placing them down.
To apply all your new programming skills by completing tasks in a guided, hands-on mini-project.
What do you need?
A computer with internet access.
Access to the Virtual Leanbot environment (Python Blockly Editor, PNote, Digital Twin).
A curious mind and an eagerness to learn!
What's the workload? Approximately 5-7 hours of learning activities, including interactive lessons and hands-on programming practice.
What you'll do:
Write Your First Robot Code: Get started with the super-friendly Python Blockly Editor! You'll learn to snap colorful blocks together to give your virtual Leanbot instructions. It's like playing with digital LEGOs that make robots listen to you and perform actions!
Meet Your Virtual Robot Lab: Explore the cool tools that make robot programming possible! You'll get to know the Blockly editor (where you build your programs), PNote (the special notepad where you tell the code to run), and the Digital Twin (the virtual world where you see your Leanbot spring into action!).
Your First Big Robot Mission: Put your new skills to the test in the "Transporter Challenge"! In this fun mini-project, you'll guide your Leanbot to pick up and deliver different virtual items to specific locations. It's a great way to see how all your learning comes together!
Why this course is epic:
Start Your Coding Journey: A fun, engaging, and easy-to-understand introduction to the exciting worlds of programming and robotics. Perfect for beginners!
Build Real Skills, Virtually: Learn the fundamentals of how to control a robot and see your code make things happen right before your eyes in a cool, interactive virtual environment.
Foundation for the Future: Gain essential skills in coding, step-by-step problem-solving, and logical thinking – an awesome start for any future adventures in technology and beyond!
