Here’s a great follow-up for students who have completed my 5-week Build BOTS robotics course and want to keep learning more about constructing and controlling simple robot prototypes!

In this 4-week class, we will be focusing on different ways to use Microsoft MakeCode software and the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express to program servo motors, lights, sound, sensors, and more. We’ll cover basic programming concepts like loops, logic, variables and math, and functions. And we’ll explore mechanical linkages, cardboard engineering techniques, and how to make robots move using everyday supplies such as pipe cleaners and string.

For more details — including additional supplies you’ll need — and to register, go to the BOTS 2 page on SEA Online Classes.
