Collaborate & Code was a Success!

3/31/2017

0 Comments

 
On Thursday, March 30th over 60 future programmers visited the Collaborate & Code tables at Barnes & Noble inside Cherryvale Mall. Seven RVC students were present to teach future programmers about line coding and blocky coding with the robot named OzoBot (see photos below). In addition, DESTIR roamed the aisles of Barnes and Noble stirring up some interesting conversations about the future of robotics and the role programmers will have in writing code to control those robots.

Thanks to all RVC CIS students who volunteered for this event! Barnes & Noble has already invited us back for the fall Mini Maker Faire! - Prof Konkol

Had Tons of Fun at "Learn Coding with Robots" Workshop

3/26/2017

0 Comments

 
We had a sold out group again for yesterday's "Learn Coding with Robots" workshop. Over 35 people showed up for two hours to learn how to code using Ozobot, the one cubic inch robot. For the line code activity attendees paired up into groups of 2-3 and had fun learning how to draw code for the Ozobot to follow. We ended the workshop using OzoBlockly which allows attendees to create a series of commands the send to the Ozobot by begin placed on the Computer Monitor and receiving the commands via light nodes.

Next "Learn Coding with Robots" is on Saturday, April 29th from 10am-Noon
