Skills in Python, computer hardware, and IoT devices have many applications and are highly sought after. The goal of this course is to build students’ skills in these areas by designing and programing robots to complete a series of pre-determined tasks using Raspberry Pi single-board computers. In doing so, students will set up the Raspberry Pi environment, use Python-based IDE (integrated development environments) for the Raspberry Pi, and learn computer hardware. Students will build and program robotic cars and work together remotely to solve problems. The course will culminate in a competition, putting students’ programming and designs to the test. May the best robot win!
