RO_P: Intro to Robotics: Design and Build an XRP Robot - CANCELED

Explore the world of robotics and learn to build and code your own robot.

Using the Experiential Robotics Platform (XRP) Kit, students will learn the fundamentals of engineering and programming. This is a beginner friendly, hands-on experience that will build confidence in a world that is increasingly more digital. Students will experience mechanics, electronics, design and programming.  This is a great entry into learning how building a robot works in a tangible way. 

Students will build (and keep) an XRP robot and program it using Python to solve a unique game challenge. By programming their robots to perform simple tasks, students learn logic skills that translate into more difficult programming tasks.

Students are encouraged to sign-up for additional sessions to modify and code their XRP robot to increase its capabilities.  Each session will focus on solving a unique game challenge where students will expand and improve their programming skills. 

Ages: 8+ years*
