Chill Robotics
Chill robotics is all about problem-solving, innovating, and creating through designing, constructing and programming robots. This program has been designed for participants to explore and learn about the different aspects of programming and robotics through project-based activities.
The program begins by introducing the foundational elements of coding and circuitry where participants will tackle a variety of problem-solving activities to cement these key concepts. Then participants will move into the second phase of designing, assembling, programming, and bringing to life their own robotic creation. A robotic engineer expert leads the workshops that are supervised by a Chill facilitator and peer mentor support at a 1:3 ratio.
Pre-requisite: Being enrolled in or completion of Chill Foundation.
