美国诺科学校上海分校机器人社团社员体验报告

作为美国诺科学校上海分校三大STEM社团之一的诺科机器人社团，自成立之初就以基于项目的学习法(Problem Based Learning，即PBL)为宗旨，帮助社团成员在完成项目的过程中，学习编程、电子等科目知识与技能。社团开设以来，吸引了一大批忠实的拥趸。以下是社员体验报告。

美国诺科学校上海分校机器人社团

我是来自Pre-2 B的学生Steven。我从小就梦想做与科学相关的工作，也梦想自己能做出类似消防员、护士、厨师这样的仿生机器人，可以帮助和守护人类。但因为种种原因，一直没有机会专门学习编程、电路相关的知识。当我来到诺科以后，我终于遇到了理想的Robot社团，我真的特别兴奋，毫不犹豫地报了名。

刚入社团，指导老师们就为我们播放了机器人科普片——里面讲述了机器人的发展、应用，还提到了机器人比赛，看完科普片我踌躇满志，当下就暗暗立下目标：以后一定要在机器人比赛中夺冠!就这样我开始了自己的“机器人生涯”。初期的很多内容都需要我们主动学习，然后指导老师会在一些关键的难点上给予辅导，有点类似国外大学的学习模式。接着，我们按书上给的步骤，逐步地学习如何进行机器人编程，一开始我觉得很简单，只要把书上的内容理解，并且把编程内容正确输入就OK了，但后来我们却卡在各种难关上，有一次，屏幕上没有出现我们预估的内容，大家就开始一一排查电阻、电路、程序、端口等各项问题，最后终于发现原来是没有排对线路(没能让足够的电流通过使得每个LCD灯都有充足的电源)。有时还会出现零件损坏或缺失的问题，此时，我们的社长陈树挺就会不声不响地为大家购回零件，我真的非常感动。我们的社员也都非常厉害，不仅有超级学霸，还有编程高手。

假如你像我一样，希望完成自己的机器人梦想，那么NCSH Robot Club就是你的不二选择!

The NCSH Robot Club is a new member of the NCSH club family. After a semester of preparation, our club finally started this year. In the early stage of our preparation, we faced complicated problems such as space and fundraising, and also confronted intricate issues concerning the type of robot we should choose for our club. I suggested getting LEGO EV3 robot, for it is relatively easier to build and control, and there are various EV3 related competitions nationwide. Amanda, our Director of Academic Affairs, however, thought that what we could do with EV3 is too limited and we could only use simple technologies from LEGO on this robot. Finally we chose Arduino robot which is built for both hardware and software –oriented projects. This type of robot is very difficult to work on, but it greatly stimulates capacity for creativity. Our members did whatever they wanted on the baseboard of Arduino. In our club, we divided our members into two groups to learn the Arduino programming. Working like a team, we helped each other with problems that were hard to be solved by individuals. Everyone including the instructor will join a discussion if one member finds it difficult to handle a problem. This really help us learn to cooperate with each other and solve problems efficiently.
