Philosophy of Education
The administration, faculty, and staff of Monroe Township Public Schools, in cooperation with parent and the community, and with
active participation of the students, are committed to viewing each other as individuals, respecting each person’s uniqueness, and setting
high expectations for all students. The school system will assist each student to become a contributing member of our society by
providing a learning environment that is responsive to the needs of the individual student, community, and changing society by providing
a learning environment that nurtures values and morals. This environment will be conducive to acquisition of knowledge, as well as to
the development of problem solving, critical thinking, and organizational skills. We will provide a learning environment that is
responsive to the needs of the individual student, community, and changing society. We will aid our students in developing responsible
behavior, a positive attitude toward themselves and others, the necessary life skills to become productive citizens and lifetime learners.
We accept the challenge and responsibility of accomplishing these goals.

Curriculum Philosophy
Monroe Township Public Schools offer all students access to curricula that addresses the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards
to provide for differentiation in meeting the needs of a variety of learners. All students identified as Special Needs and English language
Learners are provided with instruction that will meet the needs as identified in their individual educational plan or as established through
the utilization of content area benchmark assessments. Our goal, as a district, is to provide students with the skills necessary to meet the
rigor of a selected career in the 21st century.

COURSE ORGANIZATION
Robots
LENGTH OF TIME: One Cycle
NUMBER OF PERIODS PER WEEK: 5
PURPOSE STATEMENT \
Robots
This is an introduction course in computer programming through robotics. We will be utilizing Lego Mindstorm kits, EV3 software and various Lego
Robotics materials. The objective of this course is to introduce the student to basic programming as well as problem solving strategies. Students will
develop, build and program a LEGO Mindstorm robot. Topics may include motor control, gear ratios, torque, friction, sensors, timing, program
loops, logic gates, decision-making, timing sequences.
As students program, they learn about technology, sensors, and applied logic through the use of conditional statements, loops, and wait states.
Students learn to manage the digital technologies that control the world they live in. Students will work hands-on in teams and individually to design,
build, program, and document their progress. Students will participate in challenges inspired by previous First Lego League, Robocup and Robofest
competitions. Through this process, they learn about systems, resource allocation, and time management. Their final challenge will include a
presentation based on their robot design. By participating in friendly classroom competitions, team members work together to solve open-ended
challenges where they develop innovative problem solving skills needed to compete in the global economy. This leads to an increased awareness of
STEM-related careers.
We hope that this class will provide motivation for students to continue in computer science and engineering courses.
