SENSE. DECIDE. ACT.
A sensor reads something, code makes a decision and an output responds. A light that reacts to brightness is already a useful first project.
A SAFE FIRST STEP
Try a browser-based electronics simulator or a supervised beginner workshop. Leave mains power, batteries, moving machinery and specialist tools to appropriately trained supervision.
MORE THAN ONE ROLE
Robotics can involve software, mechanical design, electronics, testing and teamwork. You can start with the part that interests you.
TAKE THIS WITH YOU.
Curiosity counts more than already knowing the answer.
