| COURSE DEFINITION | This course is an introduction to robotic programming for pre-service teachers. For K12 level pupils, robotic programming is an exciting activity at schools. Pre-service teacher are introduced with relatively-simple robots and with their programming. A specific programming language used in selected robot platform is covered. That platform include a small robot and a software to code, compile and upload the codes into the robot. Basic computer literact and programming skilss will help the students go faster. For a semester, each week 1 hour lecture and 2 hours laboratory studies will be implemented. |
