*Intro to Robotics V2* is an adaptable and ready-to-teach semester long course (50+ hours) for high school (9th-12th) classrooms. It is designed to align with ISTE and ITEEA standards. For information on individual state or district standards alignment, please reach out to us at <education@revrobotics.com>. &#x20;

The version 2.0 of the curriculum has been rebuilt from the ground up to be accessible for both new and returning educators, with clear guidance and resources to support you every step of the way.

### Highlights:

* 6 units mapped to ISTE and ITEEA standards
* Emphasis on programming, with step-by-step walkthroughs scaffolded to build student knowledge
* Hands-on activities ranging from exploring gear trains to designing sensor-driven autonomous robots
* Real-world themed learning, including a larger challenge in each unit
* Educator resources, including Unit Plans, Lesson Plans, and Activity Guides
* Each unit includes a full walkthrough, with scripts and expanded explanations, to help new teachers teach with confidence!
* LMS compatible&#x20;
