Obstacle Avoiding Robot
Self-driving cars and delivery drones might seem like the future, but your child can start building their own smart technology, today!
In this course, children will take their first steps into the exciting world of autonomous systems by building and coding their own obstacle-avoiding robot.
Get ready to build, code, problem-solve, and create your very own Robot using Text Coding to direct its movement!
In this course, students will:
- Build their very own obstacle-avoiding robot! They will learn how to integrate sensors to detect obstacles in the robot's path and program it to navigate around them autonomously.
- Have fun with hands-on experimentation, creativity, and problem-solving.
- Learn from Australia's leading STEM instructors, who teach in an engaging & supportive way!
- Build invaluable complex reasoning and analytical abilities in a practical way!
- Learn to approach challenges methodically and think critically.
Join us as we embark on this thrilling adventure into the world of robotics.
