How do robots know where to go, what to avoid, and what they’re looking at? In this hands-on course, young engineers build their own robots with VEX IQ and use block-based coding to teach them to sense, think, and act autonomously. Using an AI-powered vision sensor, students discover how robots recognize objects, colours, and markers, and learn how smart machines like self-driving cars use that information to make decisions.
Each day brings new builds and mission challenges, from navigating mazes to picking up and sorting objects with robotic claws. Students test, troubleshoot, and improve their designs as a team while exploring what artificial intelligence is and where it appears in everyday life. The week wraps up with a final robot mission challenge where students put their autonomous robots to the test. No prior robotics or coding experience is required.
