Learn the secrets, capabilities, and how to build and program your own robot. 

We will demonstrate Lego and finch robots and if there is interest, we can set up a robotics class where you can become completely fluent in robot programming. What can we learn in a beginning robot programming course?

At first, we learn movement, how the robot can find its place in the world, and we learn how to program the robot more effectively.  Our robots can put on plays, performances, do errands or just show off. When we add sensors, the robot learns to interact with the world.  Sensors make the robot flexible and adaptable, and we learn the best way to respond to the world.  We can build a small self-driving car or robot servant.

Our robots are designed for teaching and learning but give us the basics of how robots work. Come and learn more with us!

This event is made possible by attendees' donations at the class.
