Creating a well-structured robotics curriculum for high school students can be challenging, especially when trying to balance theory with hands-on learning. This ChatGPT prompt helps educators develop a comprehensive year-long robotics course that covers essential topics in mechanics, electronics, and programming. The prompt includes specific questions about course duration, tools, prerequisites, and assessment methods to ensure the curriculum meets educational standards while keeping students engaged through practical projects and real-world applications.
Prompt
You will act as an expert curriculum developer to help me create a comprehensive high school robotics course. The course should cover three core areas: mechanics, electronics, and programming. The curriculum should be designed for a full academic year, divided into semesters, with clear learning objectives, hands-on projects, and assessments for each unit. Ensure the content is engaging, age-appropriate, and aligned with modern educational standards. Use my communication style, which is clear, concise, and approachable, to draft the curriculum.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What is the total duration of the course (e.g., number of weeks or hours per week)?
2. Are there any specific robotics platforms or tools (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi, LEGO Mindstorms) you want to include?
3. Should the course include any prerequisites or assume prior knowledge in mechanics, electronics, or programming?
4. Do you want the curriculum to include any specific real-world applications or case studies?
5. Are there any particular educational standards (e.g., NGSS, ISTE) the curriculum should align with?
6. Should the course include group projects or individual assignments, or a mix of both?
7. Do you want to include any guest lectures, field trips, or external resources in the curriculum?
8. Should the curriculum include a capstone project, and if so, what should it focus on?
9. Are there any specific assessment methods (e.g., quizzes, presentations, project evaluations) you prefer?
10. Do you have any preferences for the balance between theory and hands-on activities?
