Teaching robotics can be very fun. Keep in mind that each student responds to different approaches and materials. Some students are visually oriented , some are hands on , some love to read , some respond to lectures. Allow the students as much autonomy as practicable.
Below are some preliminary ideas for introducing the subject of robots.
Dissect
gather some ( salvage ) common robotic electronics and dissect them
printers ( steppers , motors , belts, slide rods , gears )
scanners
scanners
hard drive
RC models .... cars, boats , drones
a salvage yard may donate some of the above

Elements of robots
demonstrate common elements of robots
make a kit
motors
screw positioner
sensors
gears
Action video
put together video of robots in action
long on action… short on words
tree climbing
quadracopter
sea going diving
pipecrawling

Robots in Film
Iron Giant
Lost in Space ( best is at minute 9:00 )
Iron Man ( is he a robot ? ) sometimes the suit is used without a man in it

Simulations
simulation software
Programming
Scratch
Development Boards that may be useful
Chipcon and GreatCowBasic
