Robotics and Coding these school holidays.
By Sara Quelch | Posted: Friday April 1, 2016
Series 1 – Robotic Soccer
Program EV3 Mindstorms robots to play soccer using an infrared ball, an infrared seeker, a compass sensor and some logical thinking. The programming language is called RobotC, and is a text-based coding language. This can prepare a team for a RobocupJunior soccer challenge, and teach students how to code and problem-solve.
Series 2 – Electronics and Coding
Use some basic electronic components with the Python programming language on a simple Raspberry Pi computer to access its input and output ports. Use sensors to react to a change and program the computer to do something – eg. setting up a mini traffic light system with buttons and lights.
The cost is $48 per half-day session. Attending for 3 sessions is recommended to get the full benefit.
