Description
About this Course
Learn ICT the fun way! The Robotics course gives students the opportunity to embark on an exciting educational creative journey which will inspire them to learn programming into an insightful and creative way.
Robotics (using LEGO® NXT MINDSTORMS®) offers our students to learn problem solving skills which are crucial for modern society. By acquiring Problem Solving skills students will be empowered with the necessary requirements for proper programming.
There is certainly no better way to bring abstract computer science concepts to life. Through Robots students will learn how to program Robots by using a programming language that is easy, fun and relevant for beginner programmers. This engages the students in the learning process and enables them to see their programs come to life through Robots.
