The MINDS-i STEM Robotics Foundations Curriculum is an introduction to STEM and Robotics. Designed as an interactive approach to applied science, technology, engineering, and math, this course will allow the student to become familiar with the basics of robotics and programming through teamwork.
The following is a STEM Integrated Robotics: Foundations curriculum outline for an exploratory elective, focusing on the use of MINDS-i Robotics within an elective curriculum. Integrated into the outline are the essential components of four core foundational areas: State Standards, National Standards, STEM Education, and CTE inclusion. The described framework is a brief, linear sequence of units in how they would flow during the contact period.
The focus of the curriculum is to seamlessly integrate the interdependent disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) into a focused and stimulating real-world relevant Robotics curriculum. Also embedded are engineering (mechanical, electrical, & software), design, innovation, communications, small group collaboration, critical thinking skills, and knowledge relevant for continued success.
