Bottica’s robotics education program is designed to introduce learners to the fundamentals of robotics while gradually advancing them to more complex concepts. The program is segmented into three age groups to ensure age-appropriate learning experiences:
Age Group 1 (5-8 years):Focus: Introduction to robotics through playful and engaging activities that inspire curiosity.
Learning Approach:
Hands-on projects using age-appropriate robotics kits, such as LEGO WeDo or Dash & Dot, to build simple robots.
Basic concepts in coding through visual programming tools like Blockly or Scratch Jr., making it easy for young learners to understand.
Emphasis on creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork, encouraging children to work together on fun challenges, such as guiding a robot through a maze or making it dance.
Age Group 2 (9-13 years):
Focus: Building foundational skills in robotics and programming with a more structured approach.
Projects involve designing, building, and programming robots to complete specific tasks like line-following, obstacle detection, and basic automation.
Introduction to sensors, motors, and other components to expand the capabilities of the robots.
Opportunities for participation in friendly competitions and collaborative team projects that simulate real-world problem-solving.
Age Group 3 (14-19 years)
Focus: Advanced robotics concepts and applications in real-world scenarios.
Learning Approach:
In-depth programming with languages like Python and C++, and advanced robotics platforms such as RASPBERY PI or Arduino.
Projects cover a range of topics, including artificial intelligence, robot vision, automation, and integration with IoT devices.Hands-on experience with complex robot construction, mechanical design, and control systems.
Participation in robotics competitions and hackathons to encourage innovative thinking and technical skills.
