Hope IT has offered an Introduction to Robotics course four times, in October 2022, April 2022, October 2023, and October 2025. It’s becoming one of our go-to courses. Getting kids to discover first hand about circuits, wiring, LED lights (see picture below), moving and sensing components is so fun, and great to see. Working with these simple Robotic project, makes us appreciate how so many other devices …like our laptops and smartphones…are made. It also makes us wonder how God made us.
The slides for the course, as well as the basic setup and code is in the below GitLab link:
