Robotics STEM training in scratch,
From 42.46 € /h
Robotics practical training sessions using hands on and live stem curriculum tools and robots with trainings in computer programming and coding in scratch, Arduino among others. Available only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and during school holidays.
In our practical projects, we will focus on utilizing touch sensors to control motor activity. This will enable us to create interactive robots that respond to physical interactions. Additionally, we will harness the power of light sensors to control motor activity, enhancing our robots' responsiveness to their environment.
Throughout our sessions, we will cover various foundational concepts such as basic operation of the basic circuits, electromagnetism, DC motors, polarity, and an introduction to robotics. This comprehensive approach will provide you with a well-rounded understanding of the subject matter.
During our coding classes, we will dive into the fundamentals of Scratch and gradually progress to more advanced concepts. I will provide you with a comprehensive introduction to Scratch, where we will cover topics such as the basic interface, creating sprites, and utilizing blocks to create interactive projects.
