Command & Control: Direct Your Robot

January workshop

Join us for an exciting workshop designed just for girls aged 8-17 Whether they’re brand new to coding or eager to level up

January Workshop continues to focus on movement and safety. Beginners continue by connecting motors to the hub and learn how to control speed, direction, and stopping on simple tracks, combining motors with color sensors to trigger actions like slowing down at “warning” colors or stopping at a “red light.” They see how small changes in code affect how smoothly and safely their robots move.

Advanced learners build on this by adding force sensors to simulate safety features such as bump detection, collision alerts, and emergency stops when a robot encounters an obstacle. They experiment with scenarios where the robot must react quickly and reliably to keep “passengers” and surroundings safe.

Both tracks emphasize real-world parallels to traffic systems, vehicle automation, and automotive safety, helping learners connect their projects to self-driving cars, factory robots, and everyday transportation systems.

This workshop is FREE, and all materials are provided.
