Description
Robotics Engineers transitions students into full text-based Arduino programming and independent system design. Learners move from block coding to writing structured Arduino code, working with variables, conditionals, functions, and serial monitoring. Students begin in a simulated environment before transitioning to Arduino IDE and real board uploads, gaining experience with authentic engineering tools.
This course challenges students to think like embedded systems engineers. They design, build, test, and refine a fully custom device using multiple sensors and outputs. Through structured debugging and iterative improvement, students gain confidence writing text-based code and managing more complex systems from concept to presentation.
