The program aims to combat digital illiteracy, evasion and lack of interest in school, inspiring vocations and bringing opportunities to talented students in the area of Robotics and Programming. The project is also committed to a work culture of values and social skills, bringing opportunities to young people and children with high skills, but in a situation of social vulnerability, and difficult access to Science and Technology.
The young participants of the ALPHA BOTS project took classes using the robotics laboratory. The students carried out interactions with the kits of assembly parts of small prototypes, aiming at the exercise of practical application and development of the ideas of the principles of movement of robots.
In this regard, classes are divided as follows:
Theory/practice:
a) Introduction to the main simple machines.
b) Interpretation of technical drawings.
c) Logical and mathematical reasoning exercises.
Laboratory:
a) Assembly in lego kits of simple machines: wheel and axle.
b) Assembly in lego kits of simple machines: lever and pulley.
The themes addressed in the project were careful to present practical subjects that are currently of great attention:
1. Presentation of technologies focused on STEM.
2. Presentation of examples applied to the STEM area.
3. Assembly of a robotics kit with attention to the objectives of:
a. follow a roadmap to assemble components of a robotic system,
b. check and observe how the precision of the components and a well done project can make the difference in a system,
c. component organization and categorization,
d. teamwork and cross-team collaboration.
