Innovation Lab: Robotics & Coding
Build and create in this foundational course designed for young creatives and engineers. Develop imaginative problem-solving skills by designing copper circuits that light up, and try your hand at stitching together an electronic constellation using conductive thread and LEDs. You’ll dive into coding and robotics with your own Sphero programmable mini-robot and tackle the ultimate bridge building challenge.
What You’ll Learn
- Foundations of electrical circuits, coding and robotics
- Critical thinking and problem-solving skills used in the design process
- How to collaborate with peers to share ideas, tackle challenges and learn from one another
