A complete training program for university and high-school students in which the team builds a real FRC-level robot: design, coding, manufacturing, strategy and a business plan. Then we accompany teams to take part in international competitions.
In partnership with Wayi Robotics · Guangzhou, China
Organized by the US nonprofit FIRST. Every January a new challenge is announced, and teams have 6 weeks to design, build and program their robot, then compete in regional events, with winners qualifying for the world championship in the United States. The competition evaluates creativity, teamwork, industrial design, coding, strategy and entrepreneurship.
Students analyze the robots of real competition champions, then design their robot's structure through brainstorming, sketching, 2D drawing and 3D modeling, producing engineering drawings and explanatory animations.
Electronic components, sensors, communications and control systems in FRC robots, and programming in VS Code with the WPILib library, up to smart control algorithms.
The team is split into four groups that collaborate in an environment simulating the real competition: programming, mechanics, external relations and statistics.
Analyzing data from your team, allied teams and rivals, game theory, and building the best strategy to win matches.
Writing a professional business plan to attract sponsors and sustain the team, with examples from previous teams' plans, and communicating with sponsors.
Robot programming, control systems and autonomous driving.
Designing, manufacturing, assembling and maintaining the structure.
Sponsors, team identity and communicating with other teams.
Collecting and analyzing match data and building strategy.
Core training: design, programming, electronics and team building.
The season challenge is announced, and the competition robot is designed and built.
Regional championships and qualifying for the world championship.
Final competitions, robot improvement and preparing for the next season.
Follow the steps in order; at the end you'll find the model's program (coding blocks).
A complete box that turns the science lesson into a hands-on experience: students build electrical circuits, run the motor and bell, and discover magnets, electromagnets and generating electricity. Aligned with the electricity and magnetism topics in elementary science curricula.
And other experiments: the hand generator, the compass, the magnetic car, magnetic levitation, static electricity with a balloon, the metal-plate battery, and conductors and insulators.
Electric motor · hand-crank generator · electric bell · buzzer · hidden circuit box · electromagnet · two bulb holders · two knife switches · two battery holders · multi-base · compass · magnetic needle · magnetic car · U-shaped magnet · large and small bar magnets · two ring magnets · magnetic levitation stand · 6 wires and 2 clip wires · 4 copper and 4 zinc plates · 4 2.5V bulbs · two LEDs · fan · two balloons · paper clips · screwdriver · experiment guide · storage box
The standard edition does not include: the electric bell, the buzzer, the hidden circuit box and the electromagnet.
A hands-on course in which students learn the basics of structural engineering and simple machines by building real models: stable shapes, strong walls, levers, pulleys, wheels, gears and racks, then run their models with a motor and battery. Each activity has science goals, building tasks, an experiment, recording results and an extension question.
By the end of the course, students build complete machines such as a tower crane, an elevator and a fan, and explain how they work.
A fun course for young children in which they build, with big, safe blocks, the construction machines, vehicles and animals around them: an excavator, a bulldozer, a crane, a helicopter, a sailboat, a dog, a bird and a dragonfly. Children learn to use a screwdriver, arms and rotating parts, and get to know each machine's function and safety rules.
