Curriculum Association
K-2.AP.12 Create programs with sequences of commands and simple loops, to express ideas or address a problem.
After building creative designs, students will program their assembled builds by using block-aided programming to create sequenced programs and intuitive loops to portray engineering concepts and problems.
K-2.IC.18 Compare how people lived and worked before and after the adoption of new computing technologies.
Students will make comparisons of how the surgency of technology in the mechatronics field has changed the way auto manufacturers have not only increased production but also made improvements in the safety of the work environment.
K-2-ETS1-2. Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.
In learning mechanical concepts, students will develop simple sketches of an imaginative machine design to exhibit how the form of a mechanical system helps the functionality of a design.
3-5.AP.10 Compare and refine multiple algorithms for the same task and determine which is the most appropriate.
By applying components of hardware such as sensors to their connective systems, students will develop and improve programs to facilitate the most suitable for the use of the provided devices.
3-5.AP.14 Create programs by incorporating smaller portions of existing programs to develop something new or add more advanced features.
Students will have an array of ready to use program libraries provided on the Code2grow.com website that will allow for the incorporation of newly developed or altered characteristics to enhance and advance existing programs.
3-5-ETS1-3. Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
Students will carry out alterations on pre-designed program libraries to enhance and improve hardware functionality with the provided software.
6-8.CS.2 Design a project that combines hardware and software components to collect and exchange data.
Students will incorporate microcontroller hardware to their connective builds and apply software applications to co
MS-ETS1-4. Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.
Students will build upon and modify created program libraries to achieve the most optimal program designs for the hardware and software provided.
