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.
