Build a Robot with Arduino

DATES:

​

​

Few things are more gratifying than building something for yourself. Over the course of the week students will learn how to build and program a robot using Arduino afterward they’ll take it home!

​

This course provides a great introduction to the world of robotics and electrical engineering. Students will move from basic programming and electronic circuit concepts to building the robot and exploring each sensor and actuator’s capabilities by programming with Arduino to perform automated tasks. The week finishes with a selection of two final challenges: a maze navigation course and a balloon pop battle!
