Foundation for Robotics

A diygeek Foundation for Robotics program designed to introduce key engineering concepts to children aged 10-15. In this foundation course, students are encouraged to construct different models to understand the different machines that work around us. This course is strongly recommended for children who are more innovative and eager to break toys to see what’s inside. The course is designed for kids to reflect and work on a regular basis without altering their imagination.

All sessions are 100% online and are perfect for kids from age 10 plus. We offer multiple flexible support options for our Intro to Coding and Robotics Programs! Beginners wanted and welcomed!

Objective

Primarily the motivation behind this course is to show students the full potential of Arduino based microcontrollers and to equip them with the knowledge necessary to make use of this potential to bring their own innovative ideas to life.Students will be taught from the very basics, giving them a solid foundation of the fundamentals.

Learning Arduino which is based on C and C++ primarily, will also help students to easily start learning other new languages such as Java, Python etc. which are of much demand in today’s jobs market.

Through building circuits and writing code students will be made to complete the hands-on exercises, making them combine several different ideas and concepts.Through this we expect to see student’s thinking out of the box, challenging them to be innovative and creative all the time.

At the end of this course students will gain the experience of building and completing their very first  robot. The challenges they will be facing will definitely encourage them to be innovative, creative and help them improve their abstract thinking.

Hardware Components required

The course includes a kit of electronic parts which will enable a wide array of small projects. Students are responsible for their own mechanical or structural materials, project housings, or decorative elements. The following is a quick visual guide to everything provided in the kit. For reference, the total cost is about 5590LKR per kit
