This curriculum establishes the basics of robotics terminology and lab safety, followed by introductions to mechanical design, electronics, and programming for autonomous robotics. Educators and students of all experience levels, from novices to experts, will benefit from this easy-to-use introduction to robotics course designed by leading experts in STEM education.
Intro to Robotics I is an easily adaptable and ready-to-teach course for the classroom, after-school programs, or summer camps! It is designed to align with national standards including ISTE, ITEEA, CSTA, and NGSS, as well as TEKS, the Texas state standard. The Intro to Robotics I course is intended for use in high school classrooms by 9th-12th grade students (and adaptable for grades 6th-8th), and we are planning to expand alignments and curriculum in the years to come, but can be used in younger grades as well!

The Intro to Robotics I curriculum is also great for student team members and adult team mentors preparing for robotics competitions organized by FIRST, such as the FIRST Tech Challenge. Activities within each section of the curriculum are derived from a traditional FIRST Tech Challenge game structure and scoring system. After completing the Intro to Robotics I curriculum, your team can purchase the EDU Kit V2 to Starter Kit V3 Upgrade (REV-45-2042). This upgrade bundle bridges the gap between the DUO EDU Mechanical Kit (REV-45-2708) + DUO Control Bundle (REV-35-2709) combination and the FTC Starter Kit V3 (REV-45-1883), providing the needed equipment to transition from classroom to competing at FIRST Tech Challenge events.
