This class is aimed mostly at teachers using mBot in the classroom but anyone with an interest in the mBot robot is welcome to attend.

You will need to bring:

• A laptop (with Wi-Fi) running Windows or Mac OS X. (IMPORTANT: You will need admin privileges on this machine!)
• Your laptop's power supply and a power-strip (it's amazing how quickly we go through power points).
• Some money for food or a packed lunch
