Arduino Robotics Workshop Sydney

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BUILDING ROBOTS?

We live in a world where technology is everywhere and in everything. Terms like Internet of things (IoT) are becoming common vocabulary. How do we move from interaction to interfacing? The Arduino Robot Course builds on the basic concepts offered in the Little Bird Electronics Introduction to Arduino Workshops and draws on the advanced concepts of interfacing with sensors and motors, data logging and “Internetifying” your projects.

The Arduino Robot Course has been specifically designed based on feedback from you our community and would suit engineers, scientists, hackers and makers that are interested in building robots, remote controlled vehicles and cybernetic lifeform sent from the future, TODAY!

Where is the workshop?

• Sydney - Seminar Room, Australian Technology Park 4 Cornwallis Street Eveleigh NSW 2015, Australia

When is the Workshop?

• Sydney - 10.00am – 4:00pm, Saturday, 24th October 2015
