Robots at The Mind Lab

The second learning opportunity was presented by Damon.  Damon taught us how to programme a robot which looked like a remote controlled car.  The programme included 'events' to move forward, backward, left and right.

Did you know that all technology is stupid and can only work because we are smart enough to programme it?  We had to use our abilities to tell the robot what to do. We downloaded our program onto the robot and then used the remote control to direct it.   What things do you think that you could get your robot to do with your programming knowledge?


Our visit to the The Mind Lab was engaging, fun and challenging.  I hope we get another opportunity to attend a session there!  What would you most like to learn next?

Why would you recommend The Mind Lab to others?
