1, the combination of games and fun
Children are natural learners, but they don't want to be forced to learn knowledge that is too difficult or too simple. In the process of "playing", it is easier for children to master the knowledge in books or outside textbooks by exploring and experiencing their own world. I believe that children will have a sense of satisfaction and self-confidence through hands-on practice. Even if they fail, at least they have tried. This will make it easier and more eager for her to master the knowledge in books or after class. And I believe they will remember this knowledge more easily.
2. Give full play to your personality.
Children's character can be observed from daily behavior, and can also be presented through works. The construction of robots can give children unlimited imagination and let them play freely. Bell robots use Lego teaching AIDS. Why choose Lego? As we all know, Lego's educational philosophy is: reusable building blocks. You can build a little man, a skyscraper, an elephant, a fish, a tiger and so on. When you open the Lego box, you will find many building blocks and a building manual. You can design it yourself according to the tips in the manual. When building a model with these small building blocks, you don't need glue, screws or other special tools, just use your hands, because these building blocks are connected together. And the connection between the building blocks is very strong, no matter how hard you try, it will not be damaged. How to make Lego modular, not only put one building block on another, but also need some ideas.
3, junior high school can easily learn boring science knowledge, and will be more relaxed and more interested in learning in the future.
In the process of making robots, you will find that there are many places that need to be modified during the operation of robots? The first is the structure of the robot, where you may need to use the knowledge of physical structure and machinery to optimize and transform the robot from these aspects. For example, if you observe that the car is driving too slowly, you should first check whether the wheels of the robot are normal and whether the sensors inside the robot affect its operation. If you know a little programming, you will check whether there is any problem with the robot's program, and modify the program in time after finding the problem to make it run normally. Of course, you can also add some timers to the program, which can save some time. In the experiment, you also need to have knowledge of mathematics. The parameter constants of the robot can be changed at will to achieve the ideal state. When adding other modules to the robot, such as infrared sensor, electromagnetic sensor, distance sensor, etc. You must have knowledge of physics and mathematics in applying these sensors. All of the above knowledge is what we will contact in the senior year. If you simply listen to the teacher explain this knowledge, children will feel very boring. If children are allowed to learn these theoretical knowledge while playing robots, they will be particularly interested, because only by mastering this knowledge will they build more creative works.
4. Experience the sense of self-achievement from practice.
It is very difficult for a child who has just come into contact with robots to build a robot by himself. They need to practice repeatedly and spend a lot of time doing it. It took more than half a morning, even 1 day for 2 days. . . When a robot is made and achieves the expected function, children will be particularly happy and have a sense of accomplishment. In this process of successful practice again and again, children's self-confidence has been greatly exercised, and these costs are very low, a simple job, or a game. This sense of accomplishment cultivated since childhood will make them full of confidence, which is of great significance to their life development.
5. Improve endurance, such as exercising will and toughness.
In the process of making robots, children will experience many failures. For example, in Bell Robot, there was once a female student Xiaomei (6 years old). When she is in class at ordinary times, whenever she sees that other children have finished their good works, but the robot she made can't work normally, she will be very anxious and shed small tears. At this time, our teacher will encourage her, tell her where the problem is and let her solve it herself. At the same time, we will encourage children to help each other and make progress together. Over time, Xiaomei became strong with the encouragement and help of her friends. Whenever she encounters a problem, she will think independently and solve it. When she meets a problem that she can't solve, she will ask the teacher or other children for help. In fact, every child's heart is very important and fragile. They need great encouragement to grow up through repeated exercises. On the contrary, conniving at the development of these personalities is very unfavorable to the development of children.
6. Better stimulate children's interest and learning ability.
Interest is the best teacher for children. Children will enjoy what they are interested in, and even if they are frustrated many times, they will try their best to do it. Robots are practical products of comprehensive knowledge, and every child basically has zero resistance to robots. Every child is curious about the world, and full of exploring attitude towards the technology products such as robots, hoping that these machine products can bring them the power and surprise of science and technology. Learning robots is exactly what children are willing to take the time to understand, which can greatly stimulate their interest, keep their curiosity and enhance their learning ability. If you pay attention to children's eyes, you will find that they are interested in everything around them and have their own unique opinions. We adults are generally opposed to those opinions with individuality, and we usually find it ridiculous at that time, because generally we already know how to do things correctly. When robots come into our lives, we seem to have returned to childhood and have a different understanding of things.
7. Knowledge closely related to life and practical application in life are better at observing and discovering scientific mysteries in life.
Tell you a story here: Bell Robot has a pupil. Because he is a little fat, people like to call him Xiao Pang. He is four years old this year. One day, after robot class, his father drove him home. When passing a bridge, he pointed to the bridge and said to his father nearby, "Dad, Dad, look, cable-stayed bridge. Our teacher just said today, you see that bridge has many triangles, so it is very strong. " Hearing this, my father immediately looked at the encyclopedia around him with a brand-new eye. In fact, many structural structures in real life use the knowledge of physics and mathematics we have learned. In the process of learning robots, children will learn to think and connect with reality. After such a long time, they will become good at observing life and discovering all kinds of mysteries in life.
8. Knowledge and experience are more abundant than children of the same age, not only in books, but also in life, and we should be more knowledgeable.
9, all aspects of thinking ability, extrapolate, active thinking and the ability to find and solve problems.
When robots come into our lives, we seem to have returned to childhood and have a different understanding of things. Let's look at an example. To be a robot, we must first have a reasonable idea and consider how the robot will react if it encounters obstacles. When the road bumps, it will change the walking path. When designing, it is necessary to ensure forward and backward, and flexibly change the direction. You can also add a simple buffer to make it stop automatically when it hits an obstacle. Finally, you should write a program for the robot. When running in the room, if the thread of the carpet accidentally enters your gear, the robot will not run normally. At this time, it needs to be carefully checked and handled, so that it can rotate freely after hitting the wall. In order to prevent obstacles from being easily found because the buffer is too high, it can be installed lower. In the meantime, you can change the running direction of the robot by touching it with your hands. Add some content to your program, and you will find it as simple as climbing stairs.
10, teamwork and the cultivation of practical ability
Teamwork: At present, the dominant embodiment of the learning value of robot course is robot-related events. The competition of several people is a whole. If a child wants to win, he must first learn to communicate and cooperate with his teammates in a verbal or non-verbal way. Through competitions, you can improve your language ability. If you want your teammates to better understand your intentions, you must have good language skills. At the same time, it is also important to communicate with each other when the other person's ideas are wrong. Everyone must consult together, compare whose scheme is better, or synthesize their ideas. This is very important for children now and in the future. Learn to communicate with others and work as a team.
Hands-on ability: it is not advisable to just talk and not do it. It is very important for today's children to improve their hands-on ability by taking robot courses, and which parts must be completed by themselves in which position.
