In the Level 3 Robotics & Programming course students lean more about hardware components through multiple soldering projects. We solder 3 projects: a practice project, a handheld game and a “disco-dot” (sound reactive light display device). They are all fun and cool. We also do more advanced programming with our robots. Students also learn about controlling their robots using Arduino code and we begin programming in Python, learning the text based language while coding an online game.
