Role: Curriculum Developer, Instructor

Developed a seven-week robotics program for children aged 8 to 10, centered on building functional Minecraft Creeper robots using Arduino. The curriculum introduced foundational concepts in electronics, algorithms, microcontrollers, and sensors through hands-on activities in wiring, coding, and simulation.

Learning Objectives:

• Circuit Assembly: Constructed circuits with ultrasonic sensors and servo motors.

• Robotics Programming: Coded Arduino microcontrollers to animate Creepers and respond to proximity.

• Technical Foundations: Explored microcontroller architecture, sensor behavior, and algorithmic logic.

• Digital Prototyping: Used Tinkercad to simulate and refine circuit designs prior to physical assembly.

Maker Kit Components:

A custom-built teaching deck and hardware kit supported the program, allowing students to work independently and understand:

• Servo motor logic, directional movement, and angle control.

• Circuit building using Tinkercad simulations.

• Real-world implementation of ultrasonic sensing and response.

Outcome:
Each student successfully designed, assembled, and programmed a responsive Minecraft Creeper robot, gaining practical experience in robotics and embedded systems through accessible, engaging instruction.
