24 | <p>Robots always have been interesting for children and teenagers. We foster this |
---|
25 | fascination to cultivate programming in a suitable way. As an alternative to |
---|
26 | virtual turtles at computer screens, in our workshops students can deal with |
---|
27 | physical objects. That's why we headline our workshops <strong>Physical Computing</strong>. |
---|
28 | It's by definition the construction of systems which interact with the physical world. |

---|
34 | <p>We also call this workshop <strong>Arduino lab</strong>. This is as we equip an |
---|
35 | Arduino microcontroller with sensors and moving components. We work with the |
---|
36 | <em>Arduino uno</em> and the <em>Arduino Mega</em> devices and program with |
---|
37 | the Arduino dialect of C/C++. Previous knowledge is not needed. |

42 | |
---|
43 | <p>Workshops are structured by worksheets which contain tasks and partial |
---|
44 | <em>sketches</em>. Sketches are small Arduino program which are very well |
---|
45 | suitable to demonstrate basic programming principles. |

57 | It's astonishing how quickly robots seem to behave in an intelligent way. |
---|
58 | Programming is fun and success guaranteed. We use our website to publish |
---|
59 | scripts, worksheets and solutions for preparation and homework. |

67 | <p>With the <a href="robotics.php">Lego Robotics</a> workshop we gained quite |
---|
68 | some experience in hosting workshops at technikum29. For pupils, it's always |
---|
69 | great fun to find creative solutions to given problems. This tightens the |
---|
70 | self-esteem. For the course, it's a natural source of internal differentiation. |
---|
71 | Teamplaying and up to date research questions are secondary products of |
---|
72 | participation in the course. |
