Presented with a series of rapid-fire design challenges, you will be learning to use VEX IQ robotics and cardboard to construct, code and design your own unique solutions to prototype.
All experience levels welcome. Registration required as spaces are limited.
PLEASE NOTE: This program spans two days, and by booking, you are automatically enrolled in both sessions:
- Tuesday 13 January
Time: 3.00 PM – 5.00 PM - Friday 16 January
Time: 10.00 AM - 12.00 PM
To make the most of this experience, we strongly encourage participants to attend both sessions. Day 2 will build on the skills developed in day 1.
This program is perfect for anyone looking to take their skills to the next level:
- Coders will learn how to control real-world objects through robotics.
- Designers and artists will explore how to make kinetic, interactive art.
- Robotics enthusiasts will fabricate their own parts and integrate with VEX IQ systems.
