- Robotics 101:
We designed this course to be an ideal introduction to the basics of electronics and programming. The students will be given all the components to start building a robot, including an Arduino Leonardo board, an H-bridge, d.c. motors, capacitors, touch sensors etc. By the end of the 5 sessions, you will have a functioning robot which is able to interact with its surrounding environment and you will be able to keep improving it in your own time.
This course provides a basic introduction to Arduino programming, but if you are interested in learning additional programming please sign up for the C++ course!
- Robotics 102: This course is designed to be either the continuation of the 101 course or "skip the tutorial" option. Prior experience in programming and/or electronics is advised, but not required. This course will be faster in pace than 101 and will deal with more complicated electronics. You will be building a walking robot, which uses two legs to walk around and navigate in the environment. You will learn programming an arduino, serial communication, reading sensors and controlling servo mechanisms. (Aimed at teens and adults. Students who have taken the 101 course are welcomed too)
- Introduction to C++: This course will teach you the basics of C programming, helping you to set up an environment and write your first codes. We will start from the classic “Hello World!” program and move to variables, “if-else” statements, “for” and “while” loops, inputs and output, and functions. By the end of the course, you will be able to use the power of programming to tackle some of the problems that we will challenge you with and apply your skills to an infinite range of situations.
- Game Development: If you've ever found yourself bored playing games, or interested in how they are made then this is the course for you. We will teach you how to make a 3D space shooter game over the course of several sessions, suitable for PC or MAC. As well as being immensely fun, this course will introduce many of the basics of C# programming and the Unity engine which is currently used in many commercial games. Whilst the game needs to remain simple; students have the opportunity to get really creative and can continue expanding their game after the course is complete. Suitable for beginners and those with limited programming experience.
