Creature Creator Robotics
*The event has already taken place on this date: Wed, 10/30/2019
Snapology is excited to partner with Gideon Math & Reading of Colleyville to bring all our students the Snapology Creature Creator Robotics class! Your animal lover will create their own animal inspired robotic models and will learn about gear ratio, sensors, simple machines, and programming as they build insects, dolphins, gorillas, and much more. Your child is sure to have a wild time as they build, learn, and play.
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
In Snapology's Creature Creator Robotics 4 week class, your animal lover will create their own animal inspired robotic models. Students will learn about gear ratio, sensors, simple machines, and programming as they build insects, dolphins, gorillas, and much more. Your child is sure to have a wild time as they build, learn, and play.
What Students Will Learn:
-
Simple Machines
Students will learn about severalsimple machines throughout the class. Whether learning
about pulleys while creating spiders, or wheels and axles as they create their very own
dolphins, students will see simple machines in action. They will also begin to think
critically about their surroundings and realize all the simple machines they use every day. -
Axles, Gears, and Motors
Children will learn about the importance of axles, gears, and motors in mechanical
movement. They will actively experiment with these components to create their robots,
while facilitating a deeper understanding of mechanics. -
Programming Skills
Each week, children will be given a program to operate their robotic build. Students are
then encouraged to use critical thinking and programming skills to enhance their robot’s
program. Whether making their build respond to motion and tilt sensors, adding loops,
or creating fun sounds, children will learn valuable programming skills in an easy to use,
drag and drop programming format. -
Teamwork/Partner Skills
At Snapology, teamwork is essential for creating a fun and productive atmosphere while
practicing social skills. Your child will work with a partner to create each robot and solve
each challenge presented in class.
