Robotics with Arduino

Grades 4–6

Why This Course?

Robotics bridges the digital and physical worlds. By building and programming robots, your child develops engineering thinking, spatial reasoning, and hands-on problem-solving skills that transfer across disciplines. Introduce your young children to the field of Physical computing with Arduino. They will explore fundamentals of Arduino Hardware & Programming through simulations and hands-on activities. Students will get an opportunity to program the controls, sensors, movement, behaviour through block- based coding and set out on fun and exciting projects. By the end of this course, students will have built real projects and developed confidence in their ability to create with technology.

What Your Child Will Learn

Course Content

Students will become familiar with Arduino and learn the following concepts through some projects. * Identification of key components of the Arduino. * Learn how to download programs from the computer to Arduino. * Learn how to use the simulation platform TinkerCAD.

Students will become familiar with basic Circuit terminologies. They will * Venture into voltage * Conceptualize Current * Reveal Resistance Learn how to build a circuit.

Inputs and outputs with respect to Arduino. Analog and Digital values. Students will work with Digital output circuits.

# Digital Input Students will understand that Arduino can take an input from the outside world using digital input. They will also apply the concept of digital input in writing a program which can turn on or off a digital LED based on the pushbutton.

students will acquaint themselves with the concept of PWM (Pulse width modulation). They will learn how to read an analog input pin, map the result to a range from 0 to 255, use that result to set the pulse width modulation (PWM) of an output pin to dim or brighten an LED and print the values on the serial monitor of the Arduino.

Students will familiarize themselves with the configuration of RGB LED. They will also interface RGB LED with Arduino to generate colours. They will also learn how they can generate different colours by mixing the primary colours (Red, Green and Blue of RGB LED)

Students will learn about sensors and what kind of data they collect from the real world. Using a photoresistor, students will learn how to map the values coming from this sensor.

Students will figure out how to output sound for alarm. They will also explore generating musical notes through play tone blocks.

Students will learn how to interface one digit seven-segment display to Arduino. They will write programs to print numbers on display

students will learn to interface DHT 11 with Arduino. They will write programs through which they can display the sensor value on serial monitor. They will also interface LCD 1602 with Arduino to display temperature and humidity using a DHT-11 sensor.

Learn how to control a servo motor using an Arduino. First program the servo to sweep back and forth automatically. Also, students will use an ultrasonic sensor as an input device to control the movement of servo. They will also interface the servo with ultrasonic sensor and Arduino.

Learn the science behind ultrasonic sensors and how it can be used for obstacle detection. Apply the concept learnt to make obstacle detection circuits.

learn the correct coding and wiring techniques to control a motor using Arduino. They will also understand the strategy for controlling DC motors learn how to control DC motors using the L298N driver and the Arduino board. The students will initially control a single motor. After that they will explore the strategies to control the speed and direction of the motor.

Lots of robot projects need joystick. The students will further explore Robotics by using a Joystick with Arduino. They will also explore LED control and servo motor control with joystick.

Students will learn how to connect the water level sensor with Arduino. They will further explore how to check the level using LEDs. They will also explore the serial monitor for the output of serial monitor

Students will understand the working of tilt sensor and program the Arduino to sense the tilt sensor
