The goal of this class is to expand the robotic understanding and skills. Specifically to understand how sound sensors work, and to understand how to code them to create a usable effect. This stretches the students skillset broader and deeper. 

I have been involved in computer science and robotics for 5 decades, having hand built my first robot as a teenager back in the day where parts had to be manually hard wired from scratch. In my career I have touched on many hardware / software disciplines and have several patents to my name in this field. This gives me a unique view on hardware and software as two parts of a whole end product. 
In addition to the technical skills I have spent decades explaining difficult computer science concepts to non-technical crowds including investors, administrators, salesmen, etc.  This provided a solid basis for teaching these skills in an age appropriate manner. 
My computer science classes bring these two (technical abilities and teaching experience) together into a fun, exciting hands on experience that is age appropriate. 
I have worked with this particular Yahboom robot for about 4 years now, and successfully taught basic robotics and some fairly advanced concepts) with this robot to hundreds of students. 

Homework Offered
Each week there will be projects given to explore and expand upon the skeleton projects presented in class. The student is expected to implement and expand the code, adding their own creativity and personality. 
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
