Introduction to Robotics & Engineering through FIRST
In this enrichment series, learners will be introduced to FIRST Robotics programs such as FIRST LEGO League, FIRST Tech Challenge, and FIRST Robotics Competition.
We will explore what robotics is, how robots are designed and programmed, and how students around the world participate in robotics competitions to solve engineering challenges. The sessions will also cover the engineering design process, robot components such as motors and sensors, teamwork in robotics teams, and how students can start or join robotics initiatives in their own communities.
Learners should expect interactive discussions, examples of real robotics systems, and opportunities to ask questions about robotics, engineering, and STEM careers. By the end of the series, students will know what is FIRST Robotics and how to be part of it.
