Its been 3 weeks of pure fun and hands-on learning at the MakerLab. Learners experienced a handful of electronic sensors and how they are programmed and connected to work together before they assemble their robots and build projects. #IntroductionToRobotics

Learner busy coding and building their project for the Sciency Robotics Bootcamp. Our program allows learners to be practical and hands-on with coding and robotics. #IntroductionToRobotics

New Year, New Faces. Our Introductory Robotics classes are underway for both weekends and afterschool and so far we have an enrollment of 50% #GirlsInSTEM throughout the classes. One of our missions is to make sure that our classes are Inclusive. #IntroductiontoRobotics

During the bootcamp, Nomalungelo made an ambient temperature sensor, a device that accurately measures the temperature in a room, location, or around an asset or equipment. #IntroductionToRobotics #GirlsInTech

With electricity being a problem in the country, Taboka’s second project is a solar tracker which follows the sun for maximum energy absorption by solar panels. #IntroductionToRobotics

It wouldn’t be a MakerLab if our students didn’t make things. Our senior holiday learners captured as they were working on their projects which implement the knowledge they have gained from the robotics bootcamp. #IntroductionToRobotics

Holiday robotics primary classes assembling a smart car robot after learning all the various sensors it uses. The robotic car can be programmed for RC Control, Obstacle detection, line tracing and much more. #IntroductiontoRobotics

Our senior holiday robotics class built and programmed seven segment displays. Seven-segment displays are widely used in digital clocks, electronic meters, basic calculators, and other electronic devices that display numerical information. #IntroductionToRobotics

Our Primary Holiday Robotics class learnt how to build a mini joystick which uses a potentiometer and button. The kids programmed it to control both a servor motor and LED. They had an appreciation of how the joysticks they interact with on tv games work. #IntroductionToRobotics

DAY 4 Highlights. The primary kids used potentiometers to adjust brightness of LEDs. They had to learn how to use variables in scratch programming to achieve this. The kids also learnt how push down buttons work and programmed them. #IntroductionToRobotics

High level electronics: Grade 7 learners using a shift register + code to operate dc motors as they create a fan prototype. They have been tasked with adding buttons to make the fans spin in different speeds. #IntroductiontoRobotics

The fun part has begun🤩. Our Primary school class begun their voyage onto learning the scratch for Arduino IDE environment and how to connect the blink test circuit. This is like the “hello world” of Microcontrollers. #IntroductionToRobotics

Today our Weekend Primary learners started coding their own game as we wrap up scratch and move onto scratch for Arduino in the next coming sessions where they’ll start programming Microprocessors. #IntroductionToRobotics

We've got #A2U in the University today, where we will be guiding them through some of our fantastic workshops! We're well underway in our #IntroductionToRobotics workshop 👩‍🔧🥼🧪 @wlv_uni @WLVsci_eng @STEMLearningUK #STEM #ScienceCommunication #Robotics #Coding

@BristolRobotLab have ANOTHER FREE 2 day #IntroductionToRobotics workshop! This is part of their project #SABRE, helping sole traders/businesses increase their knowledge & use of robotics. On the 19th/20th September ⬇️rifbristol.com/workshop Sign up!⬇️uwe.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/intro-to-robot…

@QUTSciEng The robot arms are the #Orion5 produced by @rawrobotics. We got 70 of those for the #EGB339 #IntroductionToRobotics unit.
