EV3 Robotics: A Guide for Educators provides a structured approach to teaching
robotics to K-12 students. Robotics is a multi-disciplinary subject and
teaching robotics can be challenging. Most robotics teachers come from very
diverse educational backgrounds: Mathematics, Physics, English, History, and
even Physical Education. They need an easy to use, comprehensive guide to give
them a solid foundation. This book provides a structured curriculum, from
learning to use correct engineering terms to mastering advanced programming
techniques. It provides clear explanations, fun examples, challenging missions
and sample codes. This curriculum guide covers everything needed to inspire and
engage students. It also contains tips for classroom management and interaction
with students. The best way to begin robotics is to build and program robots.
Any individual who is interested in teaching robotics can go through this guide
and follow the instructions to build and program robots. Instructions for an
easy-to-build robot, MyBot, are included. For educators, parents, mentors and
coaches interested in teaching EV3 robotics, this is the only book that you
will ever need.
