Using VEX IQ robotics and cardboard, you’ll design, build and code a mini golf game that others can play. Add motors and sensors to create moving holes, tricky windmills or ball-hungry crocodiles. . . if you can imagine it, you can make it.
Finished projects may be showcased at Woollahra Library in early December for visitors to enjoy.
This program is perfect for anyone who wants to stretch their skills:
- Coders can practise controlling real-world objects through robotics.
- Designers and artists can experiment with interactive, kinetic art.
- Robotics fans can build original structures using VEX IQ systems.
Program details:
This four-session workshop runs weekly from Thursday 13 November to Thursday 4 December, 4.30–5.30pm. By booking, you’ll be enrolled in all four sessions. To get the most out of it, we encourage you to attend them all.
About the facilitator:
Science Communicator Parker McLean has developed, hosted and managed over a dozen creative robotics programs in Canada and Australia including programs like Robotics Design Studio, Robotics Club and Make a Tech Pet. Parker’s robotics programs strive to be learner driven, place based and inquiry based. They blend art and design with engineering and modern technology, facilitating young designers to invent joyful experiences for others. He has worked with VEX IQ, Micro:Bits, LEGO Mindstorms, Ozobots, Dash Robots, Spheros, BeeBots, Makey Makey, cardboard, yogurt containers, batteries, wires and more!
