Head of the Engineering Dept. at Copley High School, Kirby Harder, recently shared an update after receiving the Dobot materials that were awarded as part of the Dobot Grant package. Copley High School in Copley, OH was chosen among other qualified applicants as the winner of the In-Position Technologies’ RENi Grant for Dobot Magician Robot Labs. The Dobot materials include:
- 6 Educational Dobot Magician’s
- 3 conveyor belt kits
- 1 linear rail
- 3 units of curriculum
“We have shortened periods on the first day of school. One of my second year students unpacked one of the Dobots, installed the software on a PC, hooked up the Dobot Magician and was quickly able to learn how to move it, write his name and draw a simple picture. The student told me that it was very easy to set up and was impressed by how well the Dobot Magician was able to draw pictures with the pen. Prior to his initial use of the Dobot Magician, the student has no experience using the software or any other robot.“
Kirby is planning on continuing to share his experiences with us throughout the school year so that we can continue to gather a more “behind the scenes” look at the use of the Dobot Magician in the classroom. We appreciate your feedback, Kirby and are looking forward to what’s to come with the Dobot Magician!
