For the little ones! TECNONAL: Get to know the technological world that surrounds you

Circular code:
55/17
Dates: From January 2 to 5, 2018 (Tuesday through Friday)
Schedule:
From 9:00 to 1:00 p.m. (30 minutes break for breakfast). All hours are practical and experimental.
The price includes breakfast.
Place:
Headquarters of the CETIT, Av. of Rome, 7 of Tarragona.
Minimum / maximum attendants:
8/14 (PLACES VERY LIMITED)
Duration:
4 workshops of 4 hours
Teaching staff:
The Dynamind - Dynamic Mind team, which has extensive experience in educational robotics and science and technology activities for young people. The team consists of educators, pedagogues, psychologists and engineers in order to offer the highest educational quality, both in contents and in the capacity of dissemination and teaching of them. The method based on project learning ensures that students learn while they are doing well, and keep this knowledge for much longer. In addition, all the didactic contents are developed by the company and adapted to the needs, capacities and requirements of the students. They have experience working now with more than 50 schools and 2,000 students.
Targets: This Christmas your children, clean / clean of the collegiate, will be able to discover the technology that surrounds them through different STEM activities and educational robotics. They will do well while they understand how the devices that occupy our lives understand, while also understanding how they work and develop their creativity through various materials such as Makey-Makey, LEGO WeDo or mBot.

The objectives of the course are:

• Know the functioning of the technologies that surround us.
• Develop digital creativity and digital competences or 2.0.
• Have fun while learning how to program a robot or a small video game.
• Develop logical and computational thinking.
• Discover the world of science and technology in an applied and experimental way.

1st day

LEGO WeDo 2.0 is an interesting solution for recreational initiation in the robotics of Primary school children. With its pieces different mobile models can be built, incorporating motors and sensors and programming their movement. Unlike its predecessor, the Lego WeDo 1.0 kit, the connection to the computer or tablet is made by Bluetooth instead of USB which allows greater mobility and autonomy of the robot.
You can download the LEGO WeDo 2.0 software from https://education.lego.com/en-us/downloads/wedo-2

2nd day

DIY workshop
We will assemble Christmas-themed objects. The structure will be made of cardboard and we will make the electrical connections to put LED lights. You can take home creation.

3rd day

Scratch

Schedule your own video game with Scratch and move your video game with Makey-Makey. In this activity they will learn to program their own video games using a simple, but very powerful language, such as Scratch. To achieve this we will follow a very practical methodology: we will program step by step and from zero different classic video games, and with the development of each game we will know new elements that appear in all the videojuegos, like movements, collisions, randomness. Thus, at the end of the course they will be able to program all kinds of platform games, "marcianets", graphic adventures, simulations, serious games, educational ...

4th day

mbot

We make a robot competition with mBot and control the robot for Bluetooth from your computer. It is an activity that aims to use this tool to familiarize them with programming, computational thinking and educational robotics. mBot is a robot based on Arduino technology and can be programmed with mBlock, a software derived from Scratch. It has motors, light and infrared sensors integrated into the board, a distance sensor and a sensor following lines. In addition, it has a bluetooth module that allows the wireless connection to the computer to send the control program. In this way the robot can move without cables.
You can download the necessary software to operate the mBot from http://www.mblock.cc/software/mblock/mblock3/
