DESCRIPTION: Microbit, coding, and smart DIY sensors! How would you hack these creative technologies to build your own smart robots and gadgets for the underwater world, a secret oasis, or the tiniest bug on the planet? The Hacking Smart Robots consists of a series of hands-on projects focused on designing and testing several smart gadgets, robots, and machines that can support youth to better learn, play, and invent with technology. Campers will learn the fundamentals in coding, electronics, and fabrication techniques while working with the coding language and tools that are compatible with their level of expertise. They will also go through the whole design and engineering process unique to The GIANT Room model and applicable to future school assignments and personal explorations.
