Electronics & Programming Class

An Intro to Robotics

Thursday Nights @ 6:00PM


This series of classes will cover a wide range of topics to get anyone started building their own robots. This is my first time teaching a class, and my hope is to share just enough to keep you interested and to get you started on your own projects by the end. After each class we will go hands-on and play around with what we have learned, so go ahead and bring a laptop and any projects you might be working on to share or get help with (a few laptops and arduinos will be available to borrow).


Like almost all Arch Reactor activities, the class is free and open to the public, so come on by! Arch Reactor is the St. Louis area Hackerspace - Visit ArchReactor.org to learn more. Also, please RSVP to DirectorOfEducation@ArchReactor.org to get email updates for the class, as the schedule is subject to change.
