In the Level 1 Robotics & Programming course, students build robots and use the computer programming language Scratch to “train” the robot to perform specific tasks (like chase your cat or dog) and complete challenges.

Students learn about programming logic, loops, conditional statements and more. In addition to using the graphical programming interface students are given exposure to text based programming. They learn about the parts that make up the robot which includes the components on the main controller board and sensors.

Students learn how to troubleshoot issues and work through solutions using trial and error techniques. The classes are fun, hands on and involve lots of getting up and down out of your seat to test your robot.
