F.A.Q.
Facts and Questions about Career Readiness (3042)
1. Do I have to have experience with robots?
No, this class is designed to introduce beginners to basic robotics
2. Can I sign up if I have robotics experience?
Yes, along with relearning some of the basics students will be conducting missions that can utilize past experience, requiring more complexity
3. Can I sign up for one semester?
No, Robotics is a one year class. The first semester focuses on EV3 robotics and structured robot missions. Second semester will expand your knowledge of robotics and introduction to new programing software. The students will also be introduced to different kinds of Robots e.g. Vex Robotics, Tetrix Robotics and homemade variety.
4. How will a student be graded in Robotics?
Students will be expected to use basic technology and will be graded on accessing forms and documents weekly. They will also be graded on creative design, programing, and the successful completion of robot task. Students will be quizzed on regular bases to assess their understanding of the principles that are taught in class.
5. Is this an easy class?
Robotics class is fun, but there are expectations to learn about design, building, and programing. Let’s just say we play to learn!
6. Is there a program fee?
Yes, we charge $35 at the beginning of the class to help pay for consumables that will be needed for various missions and replacement of parts and pieces. The EV3 Kits cost $350 per kit and includes the electronics and all the parts and pieces. Due to wear and tear we will have to replace broken parts and replace missing pieces, and yes you will lose pieces as there are hundreds of small parts.
7. Is there a robotics team?
Yes, Tex Hill Middle School has been fielding US FIRST FLL teams. Just like our athletic programs this is an extracurricular activity that meets before and after school. If you are interested you can contact Dr. Kahl at [email protected].
