Introduction to Robotics Logic using LEGO WeDo 2.0

Many beginners want to understand how robots move and make decisions, but struggle with where to start applying programming logic to physical actions. This course provides a comprehensive, text-based guide to computational thinking and basic engineering principles, framed around the accessible LEGO WeDo 2.0 system, allowing you to design and program functional models. What you'll learn: * Understand the core components of the WeDo 2.0 kit: the Smarthub, motors, and sensors. * Master the fundamentals of block-based programming, including sequences, loops, and conditional logic. * Apply engineering principles to design and construct stable mechanical models using simple machines. * Practice integrating input from sensors and output to motors and lights to create responsive robotic behaviors. * Learn basic debugging techniques and the iterative design process common in robotics projects. The course begins with essential terminology and an overview of the WeDo 2.0 hardware components and programming environment. It then progresses through increasingly complex programming challenges, focusing purely on the logic and structure of the code required for specific robotic actions. This course is designed for absolute beginners, including parents, educators, or older students new to robotics and programming. No prior knowledge of coding or engineering is required.
