Description
Join our exciting 2-hour robotics workshop for children aged 8+ at London Robotics School!
In this hands-on workshop, young engineers will build their very own Robium LineBot – a smart robot car that can detect and follow a black line on the floor.
Powered by an ESP8266 microcontroller, two DC motors and two infrared sensors, the LineBot automatically adjusts its direction to stay on track.
Children will assemble the robot, connect its electronic components and bring it to life using Robium Code, our beginner-friendly block-based programming environment. No previous programming experience is required!
Through practical experimentation and play, children will discover how electronics, sensors, motors and programming work together.
Best of all, every child takes their own Robium LineBot home at the end of the workshop to continue experimenting and having fun!
Over a series of lessons, students will:
Introduction to Robotics: Discover how line-following robots work and where they are used.
Robot Assembly: Build a Robium LineBot from individual components.
Electronics and Circuits: Connect the ESP8266 microcontroller, motors and infrared sensors.
Understanding Sensors: Learn how infrared sensors detect a black line.
Block-Based Programming: Use Robium Code to control the robot's behaviour.
Testing and Experimentation: Test the LineBot, make adjustments and improve its performance.
Take-Home Project: Continue exploring robotics with your own LineBot.
