In our CanBot Camp: Robotic Can Creation students will have the opportunity to:
1. Students reuse everyday materials, such as cans, to create functional robots, promoting sustainability through creative reuse.
2. Practical and functional engineering, students will design and build their own CanBots. In addition to enhancing their practical engineering skills, Arduino programming, sensor integration and remote control functionality.
3. Students will be able to design their CanBots with unique features, such as a head and two arms, unleashing their creativity and customizing their robots according to their preferences.
4. Students will learn through experimentation and exploration "Interactive Learning", engage with sensors and programming concepts in a fun and interactive way.
5. They will experience the thrill of controlling their CanBots with a remote control, they will have the opportunity to test and refine the responsiveness of their robots to different environmental stimuli.
6. Students will face real-world engineering challenges while perfecting the capabilities of their CanBots.
