We are excited to announce a 4-session robotics curriculum designed and created by Dr. Rongzhong Li (inventor of OpenCat, founder & CEO of Petoi). The curriculum was used as a short robotics course for university students who are non-science majors. But it can be an introductory course for students of all ages.
The class is organized into four sections that can be configured as a one-week camp, or taught weekly:
Here are a few example slides from the curriculum:
The coding environment is Petoi Coding Blocks, a Scratch-like coding block program running on Mind+ that can program the robot's hardware components and supports auto-translation to Python. As an educator, you use full or part of its contents to adapt to your own class settings.
The course uses Bittle open source robot dog, but the materials can apply to Bittle X robot dog with some tweaks to sensor connection settings.
We also have another block-based coding curriculum for a semester: Block-based Coding Curriculum - Learn Quadruped Robotics for Beginners
