MODULE 3/7, VIDEO 2/4

This Introduction to Robotics using LEGO Mindstorms online course introduces robotics as a method for teaching STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). The course is designed for pre- and in-service teachers, and is also appropriate for youth leaders, coaches or parents who are supporting FIRST LEGO League (FLL) robotic competition teams.

Through self-paced, instructor-led tutorials, you’ll learn about: computer systems and programming; robot construction, locomotion and autonomy; sensors; and common robot challenges. The course uses the LEGO Mindstorms robotic platform and supports both the NXT and EV3 versions, and offers more than five hours of video-based instruction.

INSTRUCTOR: Brock LaMeres is an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering who has taught engineering at MSU for the past 10 years and conducts research on how to use technology to teach the concepts of STEM. LaMeres also created the MSU robotics competition team that won the national championship at the NASA Mining Competition in 2010. He has extensive experience in online teaching.
