Robotics and Automation 10, 20, 30

(a)	Discuss how computational thinking concepts (e.g., logic, decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction and algorithm design) can provide a framework for solving problems.
(b)	Apply computational thinking concepts to solve coding and robotics and automation problems.
(c)	Assess the extent to which computational thinking concepts were used in solving a coding or robotics and automation problem.

SaskCode Arduino Kit

SaskCode has assembled classroom kits of hands-on materials, such as robot car kits, Arduino starter kits and sensors, that are designed to support the teaching of robotics skills at Grades 7-12 using the Arduino computing platform. Free activities to use with the kit are available for download through Google Drive. Kits are available for sale to any school in the province, and lending kits are available for borrowing, free of charge, by teachers in schools from school divisions that are part of the Saskatoon Industry Education Council (SIEC) partnership (see the SIEC website for a list of school divisions by area). To be eligible to borrow a kit, however, a teacher must complete a professional development session linked to that kit. For more information, please visit the SIEC website - https://www.saskatooniec.ca/

Tinkercad

This website allows 3D models to be constructed, modified and exported to 3D printable formats. The software can be used for 3D editing, circuit design and testing, and block coding. Along with the designing circuits and coding, this site has a simulator built into the dashboard for creating and testing circuits in an online virtual area. It also incorporates the use of an Arduino microcontroller. This site is regularly updated and can incorporate circuits and code blocks. Through this site, one can create virtual robots and test virtual codes and circuits with minimal equipment. Users must create an account which is free of charge.
