Summer robotics courses in Balliol College Summer School

Summer Robotics Program

• Age of students: 16-18 years old
• Dates: July 5-18, July 19-August 1, August 2-15
• Duration: 2 weeks.

This program will introduce high-school students to the field of robotics, help to get an idea of what sciences and technical innovations are the basis of modern robotics. Students will devote time to design and development.

The course uses a practical approach to explain the key concepts of designing and programming autonomous robots. Young people will work with Arduino robot kits, program in Arduino and C ++. To participate in the curriculum, students will not need any knowledge, only confident knowledge of English.

Topics to be covered at the Summer Robotics Program:

• Robotics Overview
• Arduino and its meaning in Maker Revolution
• Environment setting
• Key concepts in engineering and prototyping
• Work with infrared motion sensors and object detection
• Programming the movement of the robot through the determination of acceleration and distance
• Using motors to control precise movements, difficult maneuvers or detect obstacles
• The final test in the 3D maze, where students test their skills.
