LEGO EV3 Mindstorms Course For Educators, Coaches, and Parents

aarmau@gmail.comFebruary 22, 2021Uncategorized

 

This course will help teachers to introduce their students to computer programming concepts using a mixture of direct teaching, exploration, and tutorials from the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 Software and Programming app.

The course is designed to take the teachers through 30+ hours of content, lessons, and robotic building that they will use with their own students. The goal is to immerse the teacher as the student in the course so they can better help their students in the classroom.

We will use the 7 units from LEGO Education https://education.lego.com/en-us/lessons/ev3-robot-trainer

Each unit has been given 4 hours of outside of class time to build the proper robot, complete the challenge as a student, document proof of robot and code showcasing silver or higher on the rubric, and applying how unit can be used in the classroom.

Weekly Zoom calls will be focused on troubleshooting, teaching the concepts, thinking about classroom management ideas, etc.
