ROBOTICS
Why enroll in Robitics?
Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation and application of robots and computer systems for their control. This program is designed to interest students in the field of robotics and motivate them to pursue advanced education in science and engineering. This class incorporates robotic design and hands-on construction utilizing woodworking hand tools and power equipment. We will discuss terms related to robotics, simple machines and the design process in relation to the production of robots.
