T2 Robotics

This course introduces the learner  to fundamentals of  simple machines and mechanisms that make robots function in a more coordinated way and achieve perfection in completing basic tasks that they are designed and built to do. This course is broken into six Modules to be covered in twenty four Units. Students will learn a simple machine in each week for three weeks and then end the Modules with  a fourth Unit that reflects on the past  three machines. In  each Module the students are challenged to develop hands-on  building techniques for simple mechanisms  or machines that expose them to early engineering concepts such as:: Meshing gears, compound gear systems, changing rotational direction , moving without wheel, walking, Off center rotation, flapping wings and many more!
