The program offers a unique blend of hands-on robotics with Sphero BOLT+ and exploration of cybersecurity and ethical AI considerations, all within a university setting.
Students in the "Hello, World: Computer Science Foundations, Robotics & AI Literacy" program will develop essential computer science skills through hands-on engagement with Sphero BOLT+ robots. The curriculum focuses on programming and problem-solving, utilizing both block-based coding and JavaScript to bring robots to life. Participants will tackle various robotics missions using the Sphero BOLT+ and the Sphero Blueprint Engineering Kit. Beyond robotics, the program delves into cybersecurity, expands AI literacy, and encourages critical thinking about the ethical implications of artificial intelligence. Students will learn computational thinking skills and explore the differences between traditional programming and machine learning, working individually and collaboratively to solve challenges.
A typical day involves hands-on challenges with Sphero BOLT+ robots, applying programming fundamentals using blocks and JavaScript, and exploring concepts in cybersecurity and AI literacy.
This course is ideal for incoming sixth to eighth graders who are curious about computer programming and computer science and want to understand how to leverage technology in an evolving world.
