ROBOTICS FOR KIDS

OBJECTIVE

Our robotics for kids course is designed to teach the basics of robotics for kids. Our programs allow them to design, build and program a real robot using sensors, controllers, and actuators. With so many variations to choose from, the possibilities are limited only by the students’ imagination! Robot design and build helps kids of all ages boost their creative toolbox and promote multiple skills in a fun yet focused environment.

COURSE STRUCTURE

Students have access to a large number of robotic kits with varying levels of complexity. Each course will follow the structure below, but students are welcome to jump to a higher level if they are familiar with the basics. The structure we follow is:

1. Introduction to the concept of robots
2. Creation of 2D and 3D robots
3. Familiarisation with standard components
4. Introduction to standard programming languages
5. Building and programming of robotic kits
6. Creating new robots from base components
7. Introducing custom behaviour

SOME OF OUR ROBOTICS COURSES

CODE THAT BOT - EDISON

Learn to control the Edison robot by writing code to control its various sensors – light, ultrasonic, sound and more.

CODE THAT BOT - MBOT

Learn to control the Mbot robot by writing code to control its various sensors – light, ultrasonic, sound, use LED to display characters and more.

SELF BALANCING ROBOT

Create a robot from scratch. 3D Print the chassis, put the components together and programme the robot so it can balance itself on just two wheels. Up for the challenge?

DURATION AND WHEN TO START

Each session lasts an hour and the course is taught one day a week. The content of each session builds on the previous one, and allows for students to practice various concepts at home.

Students can enrol at any time and based on their skill level we provide a number of session timings to choose from. We are open 7 days a week so there is always a session time that will work for you.
