  1. VEX IQ Curriculum It’s Your Future Lesson 01

  2. Project Overview • Its Your Future • Let’s Get Started • Your First Robot • Simple Machines & Motion • Chain Reaction Challenge • Key Concepts • Mechanisms • Highrise Challenge • Smart Machines • Chain Reaction Programming Challenge • Smarter Machines • Highrise Programming Challenge

  3. INTRODUCTION Have you ever imagined what it would be like to solve one of the world’s biggest problems? Have you ever dreamed of creating brand new things? Have you ever thought about how you can use math, science, and your imagination to make the world a better place? Well, all of these things are possible in your future and the VEX IQ robotics platform is a fun and exciting way to learn the skills you need to get there! The world needs the students of today to become the scientists, engineers, and problem solving leaders of tomorrow. The constant breakthroughs in science show us a new set of challenges and create an even greater opportunity for problem solving through technology. The solutions to such problems could help change the world and technology-based problem solvers will be the people to make it all possible. The VEX IQ platform and curriculum provide a fun and engaging vehicle to begin the journey toward becoming the type of problem solver our world needs the most. No matter what you see in your future, The VEX IQ platform and curriculum can help you build the kinds of skills expected of a 21st Century innovator.

  5. LESSON 01

  6. LESSON 1 STARTER Task 1: What new knowledge will you gain today? Fill in the missing gaps on your worksheet by using picking words from the word bank at the top of the page.Your teacher will take you through the worksheet in order top to bottom, so when you hear some information that is missing, put it in!

  7. LESSON 1 STARTER Learning objective: Learn about STEM, Engineering, and Robotics. Demonstrate knowledge about different types of engineering and robotics control. What is STEM?STEM combines science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education to form an engaging field of study. The VEX IQ platform is a great way for students to explore STEM hands-on while learning. What is Engineering? Engineering is using practical & scientific knowledge to create solutions for identified problems. Engineers use math and science to create most of the products, buildings and structures we see every day. Engineers often use an engineering notebook to help them think about and solve problems. You will have the chance to use “Idea Book” pages in activities that help you to think like an engineer! Key words: Programmable, environment, design, manufacturing and application

  8. INTRODUCTION There are Five Basic Types of Engineering: Chemical engineering – uses physical and biological sciences to convert raw materials or chemicals into more useful forms for the purpose of solving a problem. Civil engineering - uses design, construction, and maintenance of physical and natural built environments to solve a problem. Environmental and structural engineers are two examples. Electrical engineering – uses electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism to solve a problem. Mechanical engineering – uses design, construction, and mechanical power to create machines and mechanical systems that solve a problem. Specialized engineering fields – These engineering fields use two or more types of engineering together to form a brand new kind of engineering. Biomedical and robotics engineers are two examples. Printable hand-out available

  9. INTRODUCTION What is Robotics? Robotics is the specialized type of engineering that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots. A Robot is any man-made machine that can perform work or other actions normally performed by humans Robots can be operated by remote control (known as tele-operated robots), automatically by themselves (known as autonomous robots), or a combination of tele-operated and autonomous operation (known as hybrid robots). Robots have become more popular over time because they are able to perform very repetitive tasks or very dangerous tasks in the place of humans.

  10. INTRODUCTION Task 2: Design a problem solving robot Using your worksheet, design a robot that solves a problem that you know. Once drawn, write a concise answer to the question at the bottom of the page about your robot.At the end of the lesson some of you will be asked to share your robot designs, so make sure you can explain the problem they will solve.

  11. LESSON 1 PLENARY As a class, let us consider the following questions?A. What job would you like to do relating to robotics? B. What do engineers do? C. Why do designers design?D. Why is STEM important?

  12. SUMMARY Learning objective: Learn about STEM, Engineering, and Robotics. Demonstrate knowledge about different types of engineering and robotics control. • Today you have: • Learnt about the need for problem solvers. • Demonstrated a knowledge of STEM, Engineering and Robotics, including robot control • Learnt about the five different types of engineering
