Like all our other programs, this program will be run both in-person at 881 Castro St, Mountain View, and via Zoom.
Overview
Learn and build the EvoArm robotic arm completely from scratch with Arduino and Raspberry Pi! You can take home the robot if you choose Attendance Type In-person/Take Robot home. If you choose Attendance Type In-person you can buy the robot later at $100 ($299.99 retail price).
By the end of session, each student will:
Have a thorough understanding of programming an Arduino and connecting various sensors and motors together
An intuitive understanding of electricity and current
Knowledge of basic electrical components like resistors, capacitors, potentiometers, LEDs, how to use a multimeter, servo motors and PWM signaling
Introduction to 3D Printing and 3D Design
Learn some of the real-world applications of the geometry they learn at school!
Each student will have brand-new hardware and non-shared equipment.
Upon arrival, each attendee will receive a box containing more than fifty components that will be used to build their own robot arm. When the course is over, students are expected to take their box home for continued enjoyment and learning.
