Building Blocks Robotics with Electronics & Coding
Wires, Sensors, Code — Make Things Come Alive · 8 to 12 years | 12 to 16 years
This intermediate course takes students from Building Blocks building into real hardware programming with Arduino. Students learn actual text-based programming (C++), electronics fundamentals, and build working robots from scratch. From lighting up an LED in Session 1 to building an autonomous robot in Session 8 — visible progress every week. Complete Arduino + Building Blocks Technic kit provided during class.
Why Kids Love This Course
