This robotics course will teach you the fundamental principles of computer programming and coding, but through the use of awesome robots! You will learn to code through entertaining lectures but mostly put your new skills to the test through hands-on challenges and group activities. You will quickly get better at coding and programming. You will be able to program the robot to roll at high speeds, light up, speak, respond to collisions, and you'll even get to throw your robot in the air and program it to respond to your physical interaction. This course is done online, but isn’t anything like your average course. This class is an immersive experience where you will spend the majority of your time working with your robot with your friends to solve problems with computer coding. Can't wait to see you in class and for the fun to begin!
