Go beyond LEGO to learn more advanced programming and build techniques. Students will work in small groups using Python to solve challenges with XRP robots — a platform designed as a bridge to high-school level robotics.
This class is ideal for students who have already participated in an FLL team or have some coding experience. We'll tackle real engineering challenges in our Robot Olympics themed curriculum!
