Green Run High – Electronics and Robotics Technology II

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Students in this exciting course will build, test and design electronic circuits. They will also learn computer programming skills, work with 3D modeling software as well as 3D printers and develop cell phone apps. In the Robotics facet of the course, students will develop high-tech robotics projects such as quadcopters and fully functional robots that connect mechanics, pneumatics and electronics together. The course is structured with lessons and class discussions, hands-on demonstrations, hands-on lab activities and personally developed projects. Computer integration is a key part of instruction and is a fundamental tool in this classroom. Students in the program are involved in several annual competitions that will test their skill and engineering ability as they develop projects to meet specified criteria. This course is also a dual-enrollment course with Tidewater Community College and students can earn college credit during this course of study. Students receive instruction in the proper use of hand tools and test equipment, soldering techniques, interpretation of schematic diagrams, basic electronic theory, solid-state theory, communication theory, microcomputer and micro-processor theory, digital electronics and robotics. The course is broken into three distinct phases: lesson demonstration and/or discussions, lab activities and projects culminating with students designing and building robots to participate in the STEM Robotics Challenge at the end of each school year. Virginia Beach City Public Schools ensures equal access to all CTE courses. Accessibility accommodations will be provided as needed.
