Content: Robotics exposes students to the concepts and ideas around automation, computing and digital electronics. The subject outline will be tailored to suit the interests of the student cohort, including a selection of topics linked to the Australian Curriculum, Digital Technologies content.
Students will complete a range of activities and projects incorporating digital technologies such as 3D printing, Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Students will have the opportunity to build an autonomous, programmable robotic platform, learn the 3D printing process and the basics of up to two programming languages (depending on project choice): Python and Wiring (C++). There is an emphasis on open-source software and hardware, and collaboration between students.
It is expected that students will have access to a device under the BYOD program.
Assessment: Students are assessed using the Australian Curriculum Achievement Standards.
