Inspire Robotics offers their well established Robot Soccer Program taught by the 2021 Australian RoboCup Simulation Champion. This program yields a highly immersive engineering experience for students by taking them from an introductory understanding of programming to the design and programming of real physical robots with the task to play soccer against each other. The program involves students working in teams to design and program these soccer robots to play soccer against other teams robots!
Our program is all about showing students the power of STEM in order to inspire them to pursue a career in this space. We do this by providing students the chance to work with hands-on engineering tasks that they lack the chance to normally engage with in the classroom. In doing so, we seek to illustrate that many of these seemingly abstract concepts such as mathematics or electronics aren’t just about reciting formulas but rather are tools used to build amazing projects!
This Program has the opportunity of concluding with a large event where parents are invited to come and watch! We'll provide photographers and Drone Pilots to record the event and put together a personalized video for the school that can be used for promotion!
Students will learn the basics of programming in python. This will be achieved by introducing the basic principles such as data types, functions and conditional statements before implementing them in bots for games. Students will learn how to automate basic tasks such as playing the video game cookie clickers as well as Snake.
Students will gain valuable skills and expertise in sketching, working with electronics, programming & constructing small scale robotics projects. They will also learn extensive problem solving skills and improve their intuitive awareness of physics.
Equipment Needed: No equipment is needed
Prerequire Skills: No prior programming or electronics skills are required. Although for students with backgrounds in these areas the course is able to scale for them
