As part of a Widening Participation project, the UK Open University have
produced a 10 week/10 hr per week distance education undergraduate short course
on Robotics and the Meaning of Life:
http://robots.open.ac.uk
and follow the link for T184: Robotics and the Meaning of Life.
As well as reviewing the history of robotics, and considering the social impact
of robots in both fact and fiction (through a reading of some of Asimov's I,
Robot short stories) the course also teaches introductory programming using
either a PC based simulator and/or Lego Mindsotorms - the same program will
control both the on-screen simulated robot and an RCX controlled robot.
We are currently exploring the possibility of using the course as a focus for
family learning workshops, particularly 'Dads and Lads' type programs.
