The program offers a flexible, 100% online learning experience with live instructor support, utilizing a web-browser-based IDE for accessibility and hands-on experience with optional robotics kits.
This online course introduces high school students to robotics and automation, exploring the challenges of programming in the real world. Students will learn and use the JavaScript programming language, covering variables, conditionals, loops, functions, arrays, and objects. The curriculum includes programming a simulated robotic arm and building and programming an Arduino-compatible robot. Students will also gain an introduction to 3D modeling with JavaScript using OpenJSCAD and learn basic electronics by adding drivers and sensors to a cardboard bot. The course delves into machine vision using the OpenCV-JS library for position localization and introduces classical and modern AI methods. An optional low-cost robotics kit is available for hands-on experience, and an open-source robotics programming IDE/simulator called “DDE” provides software experience.
A typical day involves engaging with online course materials at the student's own pace, participating in synchronous web-based class meetings, and working on programming exercises with a simulated robotic arm or an optional physical robot kit.
This program is best for high school students interested in exploring robotics, automation, and AI, who want to gain practical programming experience with JavaScript and Arduino.
