Introductory Robotics

Are you a problem solver, a tinkerer, a builder? Are you interested in robotics and programming? We are so excited to offer a wonderful series of challenges that will put all those things to the test. Don’t know how to code? No problem, we will teach you the ins and outs of basic code to get your robot moving.  During the weekend, we will have specific challenges that your team will have to solve by building a robot to complete the task. Using the design process, your robot will continue to improve and possibly become our Spark Robotics Champion!
