VR Robotics 101 will teach students the fundamentals of Python, a widely used coding language in today’s world, and its applications to robotics. Students will learn about fundamental python concepts during the first couple sessions, and then transition to using skills learned to robotics. The core of a rover will be covered and a rover's “anatomy” such as a sensor, a magnet detector, and more. By the end of this course, students should be comfortable designing their own basic algorithm in python and be able to solve intermediate level problems on robotics.

 

Your instructor, Yuma, is a world class robotics champion with VEX robotics!

PLEASE NOTE: Sept 30th class will end at 5:00PM due to library early closure.
