Robotics
Robots are changing the world! Robots are used to perform tasks to make our lives easier. As technology is rapidly advancing, robots are being more and more present in everyday life. Learn to design, build, and code your very own robot. See your creation come to life.
About This Course
Our robotics curriculum begins with the fundamentals of programming a robot using a virtual microcontroller board. Students have the option of purchasing a robotics kit and using it during classes. We will cater the program to suit your needs, whether you’d like to control a physical robot or a virtual robot. Our expert instructors are ready to teach with creative projects to ensure your child is having fun.
