ROBOTICS: Text-Based Robotics

Students will learn all about robot navigation, environment sensing for autonomous movement using Python, a text-based programming language. This course is a steppingstone for students who want to diver deeper into the world of autonomous rovers, setting the stage for enhanced learning opportunity in robotics engineering! Prior programming is not essential.

After this course, students may be eligible to join our competition teams.
