Leonardo da Vinci è conosciuto in tutto il mondo non solo per le sue opere artistiche, ma anche per le sue brillanti invenzioni che proponevano soluzioni pratiche molto avanzate per il suo tempo. Un viaggio nel tempo per lasciarsi ispirare dalle invenzioni del passato e ideare progetti creativi e innovativi di meccatronica! In una sola settimana i partecipanti scopriranno i segreti di meccanica, elettronica e coding sperimentando kit robotici come mBot e Codey Rocky di Makeblock. Conosceranno e applicheranno il design thinking per immaginare, prototipare e costruire prototipi funzionanti.
Leonardo da Vinci is known the world over for his works of art, but also for his groundbreaking creations which led to advanced practical solutions to issues of his time. During this experience, participants will draw inspiration from inventions of the past to bring innovative mechatronics projects to life! In just one week, they will discover the secrets to mechanics, electronics and coding by experimenting with robotic kits such as mBot and Codey Rocky by Makeblock. They will master and apply design thinking to devise and build highly performative prototypes.
What is design thinking?
It is an organized creative process focused on people and solutions. It is a human-centered approach that starts with empathy: for this reason, it requires a deep understanding of people’s needs and behaviors.
What do we learn while building robots?
Building and coding robots makes STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) easy. Participants will learn to use logical thinking to reach goals and solve problems as a collaborative and engaging effort.
