Robotics
Course Description:
In this course, students will participate in 2 robot builds and 2 side quests: Design, build and compete with submersible Remote Operated Vehicle, build and program a land based robot to compete in specific games, unbuild and design modifications to a prosthetic hand, and design a submersible research ROV based on the Sea Fox model. Submersible ROV’s are an important context due to Milwaukee’s unique location at the delta of a large river basin and Lake Michigan.
Students who have already taken computer programming or robotics ARE ENCOURAGED to take the course again to learn a new language and to pursue industry certifications. These students will work with the instructor to develop a portfolio demonstrating proficiency or mastery in advanced standards.
