Children ages 8-11 are invited to this introductory robotics program where they will learn basic principles of robotics and create a simple robot animal. Participants will become acquainted with elements of robotics design and robot components, including sensors (sound, distance, etc.) and outputs (rotation servos, lights, buzzer). They will also learn how to use block coding to program a robot to perform simple tasks. As the culminating project for the program, participants will use what they learn to create a robot animal for a Robot Petting Zoo. Space is limited, and pre-registration is required.
