What is it and why should I do it?
In this class, you'll have the opportunity to bring your imagination to life by coding your very own animations, apps, and games. Unleash your problem-solving skills as we dive into the realm of robotics, where we'll learn how to program the Sphero robot to conquer challenges and navigate intricate mazes. But that's not all! We'll take it a step further by coding the Sphero robot to develop captivating games or applications. Get ready to dive into the realm of 3D modeling and 3D printing as we explore the limitless possibilities of creating tangible objects from your digital designs. Finally, you'll have the chance to master the electronic platform Arduino, discovering how to bring your electronic creations to life. Join us in this engaging class and unlock your potential as a tech-savvy creator!"
What will I do in class?
In our coding and robotics class, classes will be hands-on and student-centered learning environment. There is little time spent in teacher-centered approach as the class focuses on a more exploratory and self-directed learning style. You'll have the freedom to delve into your own research, explore, experiment and tinker with different coding environments, delve into the depths of software and hardware, whether it's the fascinating Sphero robot or the versatile Arduino platform. You'll gain valuable insights and practical knowledge, honing your problem-solving skills and boosting your confidence as a budding technologist.
