Robotics is a growing field in our world that is continuously changing and advancing in technology. In this course, students will have the opportunity to program a virtual robot through various obstacles and challenges presented throughout the class. For this course, students will be programming Dash using the Dash's Neighborhood. Students can watch their virtual coding turn into tangible learning experiences in real time as Dash, with its performance and multiple sensors, interacts with and responds to its surroundings. With the guide of an instructor, students will learn that they, too, can be a Robotics Programmer and Engineer.
