Robot Helpers Unit
Unit Overview:
In this project, students will imagine, design, and prototype their own robot helpers to solve real-world problems. Through creative brainstorming and hands-on building, young makers will explore the role of robots in everyday life and learn how simple materials can be transformed into functional prototypes. This unit fosters problem-solving, collaboration, and an early understanding of design and engineering. By thinking like inventors, students will develop confidence in their ability to turn ideas into reality.
Key Learning Outcomes:
Understanding the purpose and function of robots in helping people
Introducing early prototyping and design thinking skills
Exploring material selection and construction techniques
Encouraging creativity and innovation in designing unique robot helpers
Practicing communication and presentation skills through storytelling and explanation
