Welcome To Robotics!
Mr. Albrecht would like to welcome everyone to this class. We are looking forward to, and have great expectations for, the upcoming semester. In order to get the most out of this class, we have included a list of guidelines that will be followed throughout.
Robotics is an elective course that utilizes the technology skills acquired in the pre-requisite S.T.E.M. course as a “stepping stone” to an advanced understanding of the design, construction, and function of basic robots. Throughout the semester, you will be asked to think critically, work cooperatively, create and analyze various designs and problem-solve throughout. Using Lego Mindstorm Education sets and hands-on learning methods we will be better able to learn by experiences, collaborate with classmates and think creatively to come up with unique solutions applicable in the field of Robotics.
Classroom Expectations: All expectations (including general classroom, late work and make-up work for absences policies) adhered to in Mr. Albrecht’s core classes also apply to this elective course. Additionally, all expectations outlined in the Bromley East Charter School “Parent/Student Handbook” will also be followed.
Laboratory Safety: Any and all laboratory safety guidelines that exist in your core science class will also be adhered to in this elective course.
Grading: Grades will be based on the following categories:
Daily Work Habits (According to the “work habits” rubric)
In-Class Work/Homework
Completion of 5 unit packets (Corresponding to the units below)
5 Unit Presentations (Based on the Robotics presentation rubric)
Course Plan: Depending on the school year, the plan for your class is as follows:
Robotics Unit Topics Student Activities
Robotics Research Project
“What is Robotics?” Power Point Project
“Every Day Robotics Solutions”
(Basic Robotics)
Advanced Robotics
Alternative Energy and Robotics
Robotics Competition
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Mr. Albrecht at nalbrecht@brightoncharter.org anytime. Good luck!
