Explore the concept of embodied intelligence and embrace the future of robotics and automation! Delve into the world of mechatronics as we collaboratively build a candy sorting machine. Learn to code the machine and begin collecting data. Analyze the data and begin refining the design. Under your careful supervision, the candy sorter will soon be operating with precision and accuracy. This session will not only enhance your understanding of robotics but also demonstrate the power of data-driven decision making. You’ll gain invaluable skills and knowledge to implement in your own classrooms, preparing your students for a tech-driven world. Join us for an engaging experience that blends creativity, technology, and practical strategies. Let’s make learning a sweet adventure!
Please ensure you bring your laptop and install the following before the event:
- Arduino IDE
- CH340 Driver
Please note: Without the CH340 driver, your device will not be able to code the machines we build during the session.
