The workshop will focus primarily on the Ottawa Robotics Competition (http://www.orc.ieeeottawa.ca/en/) and will emulate the challenges that are part of that competition. The two main aspects of robotics (the construction of the physical robot and the programming of the robot to perform tasks) will be taught. LEGO Technic will be used to build the robot all LEGO Technic pieces will be provided by the workshop coordinators. The software used to program the robots will the drag and drop based interface developed by LEGO.
The Robotics Workshop is being taught by Gabe Braden, a Grade 11 High School student in Beckwith and owner of Steampunk Robotics, and supervised by O-YA Youth Workers.
