Songkran is Upon us, school is out – but you can’t go anywhere! Don’t worry welearn has a solution for your family. We are pleased to offer a one month Project Based Learning program to help entertain, educate and captivate your child during the Songkran Summer break.
Our Summer PBL Program has two key components taken together or separately:
• Quest PBL: Robots in Our World • Academic with Acellus Online (Optional Add on)
Project Based Learning
Our Robotics PBL program connects students aged 9-15 years to study robotics and learn about hardware, software, artificial intelligence, and different industries where robots operate. Students will work on multiple robotic projects and share their work with the global community. To help students create their projects, each student will collaborate with peers from around the world through a series of online lessons.
The Quest. Each Quest based PBL focuses on an Essential Question. The question for the Robotics PBL is
How do robots benefit communities around the world?
Collaboration
Students work individually or in teams (family or with friends virtually) to create original work that they’ll share in the Presentation Day. Samples of projects they will work on include
Design a Robot Students design a robot whose purpose is to benefit society
Explore a Career in Robotics Students plan for a career in robotics by identifying the skills needed to work in the field and local companies who work with robotics
Write a Robot Story Students can choose to create a fictional story, a film, or even a radio broadcast about a specific robot or the future of robotics.
