Scope & Sequence 1
Hospital Helpers Grade Level: 1 | Career Pathway: Healthcare | Integrated STEM Application: Robotics and Control Technology
Unit Overview Unit Description: In the fast-paced world of healthcare, every second counts, and hospital staff are heroes on the front lines. But what if there was a way to make their jobs just a little bit easier? Enter the “Hospital Helper,” a robot programmed to take on the everyday tasks that keep hospitals running smoothly. In this innovative unit, learners become robot engineers, diving into the world of robotics and control technology to design, program, and perfect their own Hospital Helpers. Through hands-on testing, debugging, and problem-solving, they’ll create robots that can make a real difference in healthcare. With a live demo to showcase their creations, the question remains—how will your Hospital Helper change the future of care? The journey to a smarter hospital begins here!
Challenge: How can we program a robot to do simple, everyday tasks in a hospital so that we can make the jobs of hospital staff easier?
