Let your child take the first step to design a robot arm BBC Micro:bit
We are pleased to announce our new BBC micro:bit workshop: All-in-one Robot Arm!
In this 8-hour workshop (2 hours sessions for four weeks), attendees will have a great opportunity to learn how to build simple robots and control it by using micro:bit. They will be controlling LEDs, build simple mechanical systems and move these pieces with the help of a servo motor.
Registration fee includes the following pack worth £20 RRP
- LEDs,
- Servo Motor
- Wires
- Wooden Robotic Arm
