Curriculum to use the Sphero RVR in IT-Adventures






IT-Adventures is a program aimed at high school aged individuals to get involved in the world of IT. It is an after school club-oriented program in which teenagers can enjoy some time learning and playing with robots, learning to code using python, and even diving into cyber defense. We have been tasked with the design and implementation of the Robotics and Smart-IT curriculum for the 2021-2022 school year, and the final challenges for the IT-Olympics held here at Iowa State University.


Robotics
A perfect program for students learning programming for the first time, Robotics is all about creating programs to challenge students! Participants start by learning a number of basic coding skills, from variables to loops to sensors. Over the course of the year, they build these skills up, facing a final challenge against other teams in April.

Smart-IT
For students who are ready for a more advanced challenge, Smart-IT is the way to go. Students will use the Raspberry Pi and Python with the RVR from Robotics to tackle more in-depth challenges and learn deeper object oriented coding concepts. This will again conclude with an exciting final competition in April.
