Workshop #1: Introduction to MINDSTORMS® (Wollongong)
Date: 26th Apr (Fri)
Time: 9:00 am – 3:00 pm
Cost: $80 (Inc. GST)
Location: University of Wollongong (Wollongong)
This is a shortened version of our standard beginner course, suitable for both NXT® and EV3®. Students using Project Bucephalus equipment will work with EV3®. Students are introduced to LEGO® MINDSTORMS®, learning the basics of robotics and programming as they build robots capable of reacting to their environment and making simple decisions. The workshop finishes with the ever-popular “Robot Sumo” challenge and a tournament where all families are welcome. No previous experience is required. While the activity is designed to be suitable for ages 7 and up, we will accept younger students if they are accompanied by an adult.
Note: Introduction to MINDSTORMS® is our recommended course for novice students. However, Machine can serve as an alternate for students who feel the Introduction course is too simple. Enquire if you would like more information.
