Robotics

Once you learn the concepts of programming and computational logic, there is nothing holding you back!

In this workshop, students will be exposed to one of the various applications of coding through robotics.

Students will have the opportunity to work with Sphero SPRK+ or BOLT Robots, and learn how to program them using the Sphero Edu app according to the activities of the day.

Various computer science concepts will come into play as students work together to program these robots. These activities will strongly focus on problem-solving skills, as well as challenge our students’ creativity.
