Course Content
Overview
This course is designed to teach students the fundamentals of programming in a hands-on robotics context. They will gain mastery over essential electronic components like LEDs, motors, and ultrasonic distance sensors through programming, fostering a deep understanding of code and a sense of accomplishment from building hardware. By the end of the program, students will be well-prepared to continue exploring robotics and potentially participate in competitions like FIRST Lego League and FIRST Tech Challenge. Throughout the course, we'll cover advanced topics like obstacle avoidance and path-following.
