Robotics Club (Senior School)
THIS PROGRAM IS OFFERED TO GRADES 9 – 10. See below for details.
April 3 – June 12, 2025 (11 lessons)
Every Thursday, 4:00pm -6:00pm
Students design and build programmable robots using high quality motors, sensors, gears, wheels, axles, and other technical components. By using hands-on robotics, students will gain a better understanding of how technology works in real world applications.
The solution enables students to understand and interpret two-dimensional drawings to create three-dimensional models; build, test troubleshoot and revise designs to improve robot performance; Gain practical, hands-on experience using mathematical concepts such as estimating and measuring distance, time and speed.
The student needs to have his/her iPad to download the program software.
Lesson Overview
Lesson 1 : Stem: input force to create a greater output force / Robotics: Lever - Moves around a pivot point to increase or decrease mechanical advantage / Bible: Isaiah 52:10 and Psalm 98:1
Lesson 2 : Stem: smaller force to the wheel to generate a larger force on the axle / Robotics: Wheel & Axle / Bible: Trust in God
Lesson 3 : Stem: Newton’s laws / Robotics: Pully / Bible: Inner power leads to Godly decisions
Lesson 4: Stem: Gear ratio / Robotics: Race Car- Formula One / Bible: Force and direction in our spiritual life
Lesson 5 : Stem: Force / Robotics: Inclined Plane / Bible: Gradual Growth
Lesson 6 : Stem: input force – output force / Robotics: wedge / Bible: Caution against a divided heart
Lesson 7 : Stem: converts rotational motion into linear motion / Robotics: Screw / Bible: Rebuilding a house is an exercise in faith and grace, hammers and nails
Lesson 8 : Stem: Engine valves / Robotics: Cam / Bible: God created people so people can invent machines
Lesson 9 : Review
Lesson 10 : Preparing for Final Project
Lesson 11 : Final Project

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
My name is David Dakdouk and I have a passion for creative projects and problem solving! I was a teacher’s assistant for robotics and automation at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) from 2009 to 2016. I worked at Pratt and Whitney Canada as an Engine Performance Analyst from 2014 - 2016. I also worked at Aviya Aerospace as a Software Engineering Analyst from 2016 - 2017. I currently work at Bombardier Aerospace as a Quality Assurance Manager. Let’s learn together about solving problems through coding and robotics!
