Beginner Lesson Plan:
Introduction to Robotics
Grade Level: Grades 6–10
Time Required: 3–5 class sessions
Lesson Overview
• Define robotics and identify robot
components
• Understand sense-think-act logic in robots
• Build or simulate a simple robot project
• Apply robotics knowledge to real-world
examples
Learning Objectives
• Define robotics and describe robot
components
• Explain the role of sensors and actuators
• Write simple code to control a robot
• Build/simulate a robot to perform a task
• Reflect on the role of robots in daily life
Materials Needed
• Option A: Arduino kit, LEDs, resistors, buttons,
Arduino IDE
• Option B: Tinkercad Circuits, MBot simulator,
or LEGO Mindstorms
• Laptops or desktops with internet access
Day 1: What is a Robot?
• Define robotics and types of robots
• Show real-life examples through videos or
pictures
• Activity: Brainstorm where robots are used
• Worksheet: Label parts of a robot
Day 2: Meet Arduino and Logic
• Introduce microcontroller and I/O basics
• Demonstrate LED blink code in Arduino
• Activity: Modify LED blink timing
Day 3: Sense and Respond
• Explain sensors and conditional logic
• Build circuit with button and LED
• Write if-else code to control LED using a
button
Day 4: Build a Mini Project
• Example projects: Traffic light, Line follower
• Simulate or build with hardware
• Group work: Build, test, and debug robot
Day 5: Presentation & Reflection
• Groups present their robot projects
• Explain what worked and what didn’t
• Discuss real-world application of robotics
Assessment Rubric
• Participation: 10 points
• Code Accuracy: 20 points
• Completed Project: 30 points
