# SPIKE Prime Robotics Curriculum for Ages 11 and 13 This curriculum is designed for two learners using one LEGO Education SPIKE Prime set. It is written as a home robotics class: hands-on, interactive, concept-rich, and progressive. The goal is not only to build robots, but to understand how robots sense, decide, move, fail, improve, and complete missions. Recommended pace: 24 weeks, 2 sessions per week, 75-90 minutes per session. Optional pace: 12 weeks if you do 4 sessions per week, or 36 weeks if you slow down and add more invention time. ## Big Goals By the end, your sons should be able to: - Build strong mobile robots using gears, frames, axles, wheels, attachments, and sensors. - Program using blocks first, then gradually move into Python. - Explain core robotics concepts: input, output, control loops, feedback, calibration, debugging, algorithms, sensor thresholds, proportional control, mechanical advantage, and trade-offs. - Navigate accurately using motor rotations, gyro turns, line following, color sensing, and distance sensing. - Design and test attachments for object pushing, lifting, grabbing, sorting, and delivery. - Use an engineering notebook to plan, predict, test, measure, and improve. - Complete a final autonomous mission challenge similar to FIRST LEGO League or World Robot Olympiad style tasks. ## Roles for Two Brothers They should work as one team but rotate roles every session. - Builder: leads physical construction and stability. - Programmer: creates and tests code. - Test engineer: measures accuracy, records data, spots patterns. - Mission strategist: decides the order of tasks and robot behavior. For the 11-year-old: - Focus on visual blocks, clear cause-effect reasoning, building, testing, and explaining what the robot does. - Give smaller coding targets: "make it drive 30 cm", "stop at black", "turn until it sees red". For the 13-year-old: - Add math, variables, functions, sensor calibration, pseudocode, data tables, and Python versions of programs. - Give leadership tasks: explain why a robot failed, estimate error, design a reusable function, compare two strategies. ## Materials Required: - LEGO Education SPIKE Prime set. - SPIKE App. - Laptop or tablet with Bluetooth. - Masking tape or painter's tape. - Measuring tape or ruler. - Large sheet of paper/cardboard or floor space for test tracks. - Printed or hand-drawn mission mat. - Notebook for engineering logs. Helpful extras: - LEGO SPIKE Prime Expansion Set if you later want richer competition builds. - Large poster board for maps. - Black electrical tape for line following. - Small boxes, cups, paper balls, or LEGO bricks as mission objects. - Stopwatch. ## Class Ritual for Every Session Use this structure often. It makes learning feel like real engineering. 1. Mission Brief - What problem are we solving today? 2. Predict - What should happen? What could go wrong? 3. Build or Modify - Create the robot, attachment, or test rig. 4. Code - Start simple, then improve. 5. Test Three Times - One test is luck; three tests reveal behavior. 6. Debug - Change one thing at a time. 7. Explain - Each child explains the robot in plain language. 8. Notebook - Record final code idea, measurements, failures, and next improvement. ## Assessment Rubric Score each major challenge from 1 to 4. 1. Emerging: robot sometimes works, explanation is unclear. 2. Developing: robot works with help, explanation includes basic logic. 3. Proficient: robot works repeatedly, learner can explain code and build choices. 4. Advanced: robot is reliable, improved through data, and code is organized with variables/functions. ## Phase 1: Orientation and Robot Thinking ### Week 1 - Meet the Robot Session 1: Kit discovery and hub basics - Sort parts by type: beams, frames, pins, axles, gears, wheels, motors, sensors. - Identify hub, ports, but

Welcome to ABC Consulting. This document serves as your operational baseline and technical induction manual. It outlines our core workflows, infrastructure deployment processes, and mandatory Human Resources (HR) governance protocols. Please review this documentation thoroughly to ensure operational readiness. --- **1. System Access & IT Provisioning Workflow** To ensure secure and efficient deployment of your hardware and software environments, ABC Consulting utilizes a strictly gated IT provisioning process. **1.1 Credential Generation & Hardware Allocation** The following sequential workflow dictates how your technical environments are initialized: 1. **HR Authentication Trigger:** HR finalizes the employment contract and inputs data into the Human Capital Management (HCM) system. 2. **Automated IAM Provisioning:** The Identity and Access Management (IAM) system generates a unique User Principal Name (UPN) and assigns Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) tiers based on your job architecture. 3. **Hardware Configuration:** IT procures and images standard-issue hardware using the enterprise Mobile Device Management (MDM) profile. 4. **Credential Handover:** The employee receives temporary cryptographic keys (passwords/tokens) via a secure out-of-band channel (e.g., personal SMS). 5. **Initial Authentication:** The employee logs into the SSO portal, forces a password reset, and registers Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) devices. ---
