The Thymio robot as a tool for discovering digital science
EPFL
About the course
This course allows to approach the comprehension of the basic mechanisms of a robot such as Thymio, its programming with various languages, its use in class with the associated teaching elements.
The course is structured in six chapters. The first one is dedicated to the basic concepts in computer science and robotics. The second chapter gives an introduction to the Thymio robot. Chapters 3, 4 and 5 introduce the programming of the robot through different environments of increasing complexity. Chapter 6, finally, shows the practical application in class of the elements presented in the previous chapters.
Who is this course for?
It responds to the new programs for the introduction of digital sciences in schools in France and Switzerland and has been produced jointly by
and 
Prerequisites
There are no particular prerequisites, except for some advanced programming sections requiring practice with the tool.
