Courses
Introduction to Robotics
Course length - 5.5 hours
Participants will take a detailed tour through the Lego Spike Prime robots and software throughout a 5.5 hour session. They will learn basics such as building design and controlling motors to drive the robots around mazes. Coding concepts such as loops and conditionals will be introduced through fun and engaging challenges that require the robots to sense the world around them.
Cost - $70 (individual) or $55 each (pair)
N.B. Students will need to bring food for lunch and snack breaks.
Intermediate Course
Course length - 5.5 hours
Building on the previous course, students dive into more intricate design builds, a greater variety of sensors and more challenging code. Participants will:
design robots to cross gaps of varying sizes
learn how to control turns accurately by using the gyroscope to help navigate mazes
learn the function of ‘My Blocks’ to create their own code blocks
experiment with different line following codes including using proportional values
build and code simple soccer robots to follow a ball using infrared sensors
Cost - $80 (individual) or $60 each (pair)
