This self-paced course has an open registration so you may enroll at any time that is convenient for you.
This non-credit online course introduces an Arduino-based robotic platform as a method for teaching STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). The course is designed for pre- and in-service teachers, and is also appropriate for youth leaders, coaches or parents who are interested in integrating robotics and programming into their courses.
Through self-paced, instructor-led tutorials, you'll learn about:
The course uses the Parallax BOE-Bot Robot platform based on the Arduino Uno computer. Programming of the Arduino is supported on both PC and Macs.
The course offers five hours of video-based instruction from MSU Professor Brock LaMeres along with a series of hands-on activities building and programming the robotic platform. The course is viewable on desktop computers and mobile devices.
