INTRODUCTION TO ROBOTICS
In this first unit, students will be introduced to the field of robotics and its connection to the concept of Systems Thinking. Using the Dobot Magician robotic arm as an example, students will identify the main components of a robot, how its components interact, and how to break down a complex system into its inputs, outputs, and internal processes. Students will then learn how to visually represent complex systems and programs using flowcharts.
Lessons |
Students will: |
---|---|
Lesson One: What is a robot? |
|
Lesson Two: Inputs, outputs, and processes |
|
Lesson Three: Flowcharts and nonlinear processes |
|
BLOCK CODING AND COMPUTATIONAL THINKING
Students learn the concepts of block coding and computational thinking. Students will then combine this knowledge with their previous Systems Thinking experience to create their first true Dobot computer program. Students can create more sophisticated block programs using concepts and tools like variables, lists, logic, loops, and functions.
Lessons |
Students will: |
---|---|
Lesson One: Introduction to block coding |
|
Lesson Two: Variables and lists |
|
Lesson Three: Dynamic programming: Logic, loops, and functions |
|
TEXT CODING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE
Students transition from block-based coding to Python. Students will gain an understanding of the language syntax by text coding with Dobot, manipulating inputs and outputs, and integrating logic, loops, and functions.
Lessons |
Students will: |
---|---|
Lesson One: Introduction to text-based coding |
|
Lesson Two: Inputs, outputs, variables, and lists in Python |
|
Lesson Three: Dynamic programming in Python |
|
ADVANCED MANUFACTURING
Students will take what they have learned thus far about robotics and computer programming and apply that knowledge to the world of advanced manufacturing. Advanced manufacturing is all about optimizing the production of goods via the implementation of new, innovative technologies and manufacturing techniques. This often takes the form of incorporating robots into the manufacturing process to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness. Throughout this unit, students will explore the three primary concepts behind advanced manufacturing: efficient production, intelligent production, and effective organization. By the end of this unit, students will be able to apply what they have learned to create an automated assembly line using Dobots, conveyor belts, sensors, and Python programming.
Lessons |
Students will: |
---|---|
Lesson One: Efficient production |
|
Lesson Two: Intelligent production and quality control |
|
Lesson Three: Effective organization |
|
ROBOTICS IN SOCIETY
In this final unit, students will explore the relationship between the field of robotics and human society. The topic of how robots can potentially benefit or harm individuals – and society in general – has become a prominent point of discussion as robotics technology has advanced over the past few decades. Students will investigate the engineering design process, an iterative process that engineers use to develop and create new, effective designs. After exploring this concept, students will have the opportunity to design and document their own capstone project in which they will address a problem, design an object to be used in conjunction with their Dobot, and present their journey through the engineering design process to the rest of the class.
Lessons |
Students will: |
---|---|
Lesson One: Robots Saving Lives |
|
Lesson Two: Robots and Ethics |
|
Lesson Three: The Engineering Design Process |

foundations of engineering, technology, and robotics
The Foundations of Engineering, Technology, and Robotics curriculum is standards-aligned and teacher-designed to prepare high school students for success in the future workforce. Problem-solving, collaboration, and creative thinking are embedded throughout the lessons to teach core concepts within engineering, technology, and robotics. The lessons are driven by industry standards so they can be used in standalone STEM or CTE pathway classes or alongside existing material. Digital access to the Foundations of Engineering, Technology, and Robotics curriculum is hosted online and offers additional resources for students and instructors.
