LEGO ROBOTICS CAMP
In collaboration with Global Views Monthly magazine, Taipei, winter 2014.
Attendants of this camp are limited to primary / elementary school students (9-12 years old).
Therefore, course design and objectives differ a lot from the BIME robotics camp (for high school students). A lot more entertaining activities are provided, and tutorial is based on simple logic and oriented to inspire creativity.

SKILLS
SCRATCH PROGRAMMING
Lego EV3's core controller machine is programmable using its own Scratch IDE.
Compared to conventional programming languages and development environments, the graphical Scratch is apparently more children-friendly and easy to learn.
Lectures proceed orderly and step-by-step, interspersed with lots of in-class lessons for children to gain sense of participation and achievement.
ROBOT CREATION
Four activities (ball throwing, object grasping, remote control and collision sensing) are covered in the event.
Each activity requires a different robot design. Robot building instructions are provided and taught step-by-step, but the children are free to make their own creations.
Scratch programs are adjusted for each activity, to achieve proper robot control. After becoming familiar with Scratch, children can spend more time investigating the relationship between programs, robot designs and their functionalities.
