As a robotics instructor, you need a combination of technical and soft skills to succeed. Technical skills include understanding robotics fundamentals, such as sensors, actuators, controllers, kinematics, dynamics, and algorithms; being familiar with robotics hardware like robot arms, legs, wheels, grippers, cameras, microcontrollers, motors, servos, batteries, and wires; being proficient in programming languages and tools such as Python, C++, Arduino, ROS, MATLAB or Blockly; and designing and prototyping robots that meet certain specifications and constraints using CAD, 3D printing, laser cutting or cardboard. Soft skills include the ability to explain complex concepts in simple terms using different modes and media; planning and delivering effective lessons using inquiry-based, project-based or game-based learning; evaluating and providing feedback on students' learning outcomes and progress; and organizing and managing your time, resources and classroom.
