The Bradley International Robotics program introduces children with little to no experience to gain a mastery of robotics.  From all aspects of STEAM education, Bradley Robotics advances students' learning about hardware, software, and design processes while providing challenging and fun activities.  Through hands-on work in a team environment, the students not only gain knowledge about robotics, but also experience that can help them in their educational pursuits.  The completion of all five course levels will prepare students to be better equipped to excel in STEAM fields at a college level than their peers.

 

The program is designed with five stages, starting with a basic understanding of robotics, progressing gradually into the inner workings of robots with increasing sophistication and abstraction.  Each level consists of 15-20 hours of instruction and exercise, and can be repeated by the students to gain a firmer understanding of the material.  

 

Level I: Fundamentals of Robotics

A primer designed to spark students’ interests in studying robotics.

 

Level II: Beginning Robotics

A basic course in robotics to teach students programming.

Level III: Intermediate Robotics
A deeper look into robotic programming and hardware/software design.

Level IV: Advanced Intermediate Robotics
A challlenging course wherein students will achieve full understanding of the robots they work on.

Level V: Advanced Robotics
A master class in which students will be guided to explore more possibilities with the robots and challenge the creative potential of both themselves and their peers.

All of the levels can be repeated as needed or desired for a firmer understanding.

 

Bradley Robotics Summer Program

 

The Bradley International Robotics Summer Academy camp will challenge students in the exciting world of robotics. At the camp, students will work alongside professional robotic engineers, instructors and mentors in a week long program, designed to spark an interest in youth to become active members in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics.

 

Participants learn how to:

• Assemble and use sophisticated robotic materials.
• Work with high quality hardware to build a Raspberry Pi 3 self-driving robot car.
• Learn computer programming, such as the Python language.
• Discover and develop STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) Skills.

 

Upon successful completion of the Bradley International Robotics Summer Academy, participants will have a general understanding of project management, project development and software engineering.
