About Course

Build, program, and innovate with robotics

The course aims to inspire students in engineering, develop skills in working with tools, and form the principles of understanding and designing technical devices.

Students study laws of electronics and mechanics, learn how to work with components such as a bearing, a potentiometer, an Arduino board, and a servo.

For the main project, students develop a physical robotic arm.
