CODING & ROBOTICS
Students will learn the basics of at least 3 different types of engineering, understand robotics basics,
and lay out and know the function of all supplied parts. They will then put together all physical parts
of a METAbot.
Students will understand basic electronics, test and properly attach all METAbot electronics
components, and learn how to identify, put together and test simple electronics bits.
Students will understand basic coding, write and test software developed for the METAbot, and learn
basic computer programming by writing code in the Arduino IDE to be sent to the METAbot.
