This course combines the power of robotics with the creativity of digital design. Using mBot 2 and laser-cut parts, students learn how to model 2D components, fabricate them with precision, and integrate them into functioning robots. Projects include building mechanical organs, ferris wheels, cranes, and other complex machines, each enriched with custom-made laser-cut details.
Students practice programming in mBlock while also gaining experience with mechanics and design for manufacturing. Teachers can use this course to highlight the link between coding, engineering, and digital fabrication — providing learners with a highly practical set of 21st-century skills that go beyond robotics.
