[Call for Participants] Robot Programming Workshop

[Now Accepting Applications!]

Robot Programming Course: The Robot We Built
Together Comes to Life!

This workshop involves programming robots—designed using blocks that can be freely assembled into various shapes and small microcontroller boards—using a block-based programming environment. Participants will deepen their understanding of
robots and programming through a quiz-style activity, and then bring their own ideas to life by programming the robots. All
necessary knowledge will be taught during the workshop, making this program ideal for first-timers and beginners.

This workshop aims not only to teach programming but also to provide participants with experiences—such as designing their own ideas using blocks and programs and communicating through teamwork—that will serve as a springboard for their future learning.

[Date and Time] Saturday, June 27, 2015, 9:30 a.m.–4:30
p.m. [Venue] Tokyo Institute of Technology Kuramae Hall (2-12-1 Ōokayama, Meguro-ku, Tokyo)
