This self-guided professional development training is a new program from REV Robotics designed to aid educators as they get started with educational robotics and the DUO Control System.

These trainings are intended to pair with the Intro to Robotics V2 curriculum and EDU Kit V2.

Within the professional development, there are currently two groups of lessons available:

Looking for extra robotics and engineering activities for the classroom or to try with a FTC program?

These DUO Classroom Activities are designed to reinforce concepts, encourage exploration, and offer additional opportunities to use the EDU Kit V2 and DUO System to its fullest extent!

Most activities range from 60-120 minute completion time with options or suggestions to further expand upon the activity. Perfect for filling in extra class time in a semester, introducing new students to robotics, or demonstrations as part of summer camps and workshops.

Classroom (Coming Soon)

This collection of lessons focuses on using DUO Mechanical and Control Systems, as well as general robotics principles, getting hands-on with the robots

This collection of lessons focuses on the ins and outs of running a robotics or technology education classroom with open-ended projects

The DUO EDU Mechanical Kit and DUO Control Bundle together provides the same materials as the EDU Kit V2. This is an intended option to offer flexibility for schools who may have existing sets of parts or Control/Driver Hubs.

Sample Lesson

The sample lesson provided here is Lesson 2 from Unit 1 of the Intro to Robotics V2 curriculum. Within this lesson, the mechanical parts of the EDU Kit V2 are introduced followed by a small building activity to aid with student exploration and growing familiarity.

A selection of documents have been provided here, additional supporting material may be available within the full .

The lesson plan provides the learning outcomes, materials list, standards, activities, and a step-by-step simplified walkthrough for the lesson.

The teacher guide provides similar information to the lesson plan, such as learning outcomes, but provides additional elaboration on running the lesson to include scripts, time breakdowns, and activity tips.

The slideshow for Lesson 2 introduces different mechanical parts for the EDU Kit V2 intended for students to view while having a kit accessible to look up close.

The goal is to grow familiarity with the part names and terms, as well as their purposes to cut down on the risk of things feeling overwhelming as the course move towards building.

    Unit Information:

    Unit Titles:

    In this activity, students are building a simple launcher in their groups. No programming required! For now the focus is to practice using tools and manipulating the parts in a fun way.

    Once they finish, students can try launching crumpled paper balls or something like tennis/stress balls. We tried launching our small dino plushie ourselves.

    Lesson 2 includes the recommendation to have students practice inventory their kits. While the kits include a bill of materials, a version with checkboxes has been included in the curriculum and is available here:
