This semester students in year-10 Robotics learn how to construct and program many robotics models using the Spike Mindstorm Robotic kits. Students choose the models they want to build. They learn to write ‘Word Block’ programs on their device and download them to their robot via Bluetooth connection. Students also learn to document their program and algorithm using flowcharts. Once a basic programming skill level is reached, students will start writing their program using a subset of the ‘Python’ language within the Spike Robotics App programming environment. Students learn the various Python programming structures such as loop control, conditional While loop, Asynchronous motor control, function calls, and many others.

‘Bibi and I made a safe that is able to securely lock anything inside. We worked on this project for a while, It was challenging but the end result is satisfying. As we now have a functional safe!’
