About

You will be able to

  • Explain what a robot is and how it senses, thinks and acts
  • Make simple circuits with a battery, switch, LED and buzzer
  • Identify common components and connect an LED with a resistor safely
  • Use sensors such as IR, LDR and ultrasonic
  • Run motors and understand gears
  • Program an Arduino to blink an LED and build a simple robot

Who it is for

  • Children aged about 9 to 14 interested in science and making things
  • Children who have done Scratch or basic coding (helpful)

What you need

  • Class 4 level science
  • Robotics kit is provided at the centre

Questions

Is it safe for children?

Yes. All circuits use small batteries (3 V to 9 V) and are done under a trainer's watch.

Does my child need to buy a kit?

The centre provides kits for class work. Buying a kit for home is optional.

What will my child build?

Simple circuits, an Arduino LED project and a small robot such as an obstacle avoider.

Is coding needed?

Basic Arduino coding is taught from scratch in the course.
