This 2-week immersive program introduces participants to the exciting world of programming, robotics, and software engineering through hands-on projects with the Arduino ShieldBot. Designed for beginners, the course emphasizes core skills such as planning, writing, and debugging code to control a robot. By combining theory with practical implementation, students will develop foundational software concepts, integrate sensors, and create autonomous robot behaviors.
Through an iterative approach to planning, testing, and improvement, participants will explore key topics, including open-loop navigation, sensor integration, and camera-based navigation. By the end of the course, students will have built and programmed a fully operational ShieldBot capable of solving real-world challenges.
