Description:
The taster class is single class intended to be an introduction to Robotics. This class will look at robots without sensors attached and the Arduino coding required. Different challenges are presented at each stage during the class culminating in solving a maze. Students can sign up to continue with the full course on the day. By the end of this class, students will have a very basic introduction to robotics concepts and Arduino code.

We hold this class every week during the term but you only attend one class. Students can sign up to continue with the full course on the day if they feel they want more.
