Class Details
Robotics Foundations introduces students to the ideas behind building and programming robots, even if they have never worked with a robotics kit before. Students learn how robots sense the world, make decisions, follow instructions, and solve challenges through step-by-step logic. The class is designed as a foundation-level AYCS course. Students will explore robot movement, sensors, simple control systems, debugging, and teamwork through approachable projects and demonstrations. No robotics experience is required. When hardware is not available, the class can use simulations and software-based activities so students can still learn the core ideas clearly.
Competition connection
Foundation classes can help students build skills for AYCS competitions and the Computer Science Olympics.
