=Year 7 Robotics @ KTHS=

====Robotics is a hands-on subject which will give students the opportunity to study the development and principles of robotics, which is one of today’s fastest developing technologies. Students will build and program a variety of robots to complete a series of different challenges. All robots are built with //Lego Mindstorms// and are programmed using //RoboLab//, which will be installed on the students’ Netbooks. Once a program has been created on a computer, it is transferred via infrared to the robots to allow them to move without human interaction.====

Students will develop skills and knowledge in:

 * ====Team work and cooperation through working in pairs/groups.====
 * ====Basic mechanics, including the use of gears.====
 * ====Problem solving strategies, including the management and sequencing of project tasks.====
 * ====Computer programming using an icon-based language.====
