Robotics and Arduino: live online course

Week by week

What the learner works on

1. Weeks 1–3
   Step 1: Circuits

   LEDs, resistors and buttons.

2. Weeks 4–6
   Step 2: Code the board

   Make lights blink and respond to buttons.

3. Weeks 7–9
   Step 3: Sensors

   Measure light, distance or temperature.

4. Weeks 10–12
   Step 4: A small robot

   Combine motors and sensors.

The order and pace change to suit the learner, and the teacher adjusts after every few classes. Topics follow the learner's board or level.

Projects

What learners build

How classes run

Before the first class

Each class mixes a quick recap, a new idea taught live, guided practice and a few questions to take away. Join ten minutes early for a sound and camera check, and use a laptop or desktop if the class needs screen sharing. Read what to expect in your first online class.
