In this Teaching the Teachers video, we explore how to teach students to program a robot to follow a wall through hands-on demonstrations in simulation and on a real robot. We cover common control mistakes, show how to adjust robot behaviour, and introduce a “predict, run, explain” routine to help students understand how the robot responds.

Robot Kit Used (including the environment): BotBox Robot Teaching Kit: https://www.theconstruct.ai/botbox-warehouse-lab/

Learning Points:
✅ Show how steering and different settings affect the robot's movement.
✅ Teach how robots use laser readings to detect and navigate corners.
✅ Use the “predict, run, explain” routine to help students understand common mistakes.

============================

[Teaching the Teacher], a weekly series of videos by The Construct Robotics Institute, aims to make robotics education easier by helping teachers teach a wide range of robotics topics through hands-on practice.

We’ll share practical robotics teaching tips, classroom-ready demonstrations, robotics projects, and effective strategies to help you explain robotics concepts more clearly, engage your students, and make complex topics easier to understand.


Each video provides a ROS-based project (referred to as ROSJECTs 🦾 📁) for all attendees, including notebooks, code, and robot simulations. Led by ROS expert Desire, you'll see how robotics teaching and hands-on practice come together in real time.


We're excited to share this series with you! If you have questions or want to explore new topics, drop us a comment below.
