About This Course



Introduction to Robotics and Coding for Beginners This level is designed for students with zero prior knowledge in robotics and machine coding, typically aged between 9 to 12 years old. Throughout this 13-week course, students will acquire fundamental knowledge on utilizing motors, gears, and sensors, alongside learning the basics of coding.
Each class will concentrate on a specific building mechanism or module, enabling students to grasp its functionalities thoroughly. Additionally, students will be guided to program their robots to execute one or two tasks per session.
To foster collaboration, communication, and soft skills development, students will be paired up as partners for each class. This teamwork approach encourages active participation and mutual learning among peers.
