Course Description:

This course will provide the environment for the student to learn programming while working with robots.

​

In the course we will using the Sphero RVR. This is a robot that builds on what the student has learned in the Robot Programming course.

​

In  the course we will be adding a Raspberry Pi to the RVR. We will be teaching the Python programming language. Each student will be adding sensors and devices to the RVR through the Raspberry Pi. The students will learn how to integrate the Raspberry Pi and the RVR. The students will be taught basic electronic circuit design.

The year will finish with a team project.
