For early learners, robotics offers the kind of exciting experiences that often spark a lifelong interest in science and engineering. After all, there’s nothing quite like seeing a robot they’ve programmed and built themselves come to life!
The Radical Robotics workshop gives students everything they need to get their first taste of working with robots in a fun, nurturing environment. Instructors will guide them through many of the issues robotics experts must consider, such as how fast or strong to make their robot and how to improve their performance.
By the end of the week, each Explorer will have a working, moving robot they can take home to keep tinkering with.
Projects in this workshop may include: Creating a robot that makes conditional decisions or writing a program to gather objects for a robot.
