Math Botics - Intro to Robotics
2019-10-25 08:30 - 15:30 UTC | FIU PG6
Introduction to Robotics Workshop
Arduino, VEX, Sphero, Raspberry Pi and other robotics microcontrollers made it
easier and faster to learn how to control a robotic arm, design a robotic car with a
remote controller, autonomous or controlled by your smartphone, develop a
a gardening system where your plants are watered and fertilized according to the
temperature, light intensity or timely scheduled, control your curtains
automatically, develop games, turning LEDs on and off and so on.
The use of these robotics platforms in school can improve problem-solving skills,
draw students to appreciate the power of technology, provide a framework for
collaboration and teamwork, and can be a lot of fun for the students.

Please see the Math Botics flyer for additional details.
