"This "Old Dog" learned how to code..."

~ Dennis Richards Learn Robotics Student

I am a math and physics teacher at the high school level. Due to covid, I had to change jobs. The new teaching assignment includes just math and a coding class. Math of course I am ok with. But coding is another thing. The last time I "coded" was in the '80s as a class(FORTRAN) I had to take in my degree program. I have not needed to use it since. When I was told I needed to teach this class I panicked. After all I am a "Old Dog". My principal signed me up for Learn Robotics Level 1 and 2. I have to admit that I am really enjoying the course. The pedagogy of the course is sound and combines a hands on manipulation of circuits and microcontroller boards as well as easing the student into what would be considered in education as an abstract subject. I cannot see a beginning coding class, for example creating games, as being as effective as well as reaching a more diverse beginning student population than the Learn Robotics course. This curriculum should be easily adaptable to freshmen on up. The plan at my school is to have students take this knowledge and apply it to other physical and biological sciences as well as a STEM diploma Ms. Miller has a good thing going! 🌟 5/5

What Students Are Saying About Learn Robotics

Hint: We can help you get into robotics faster than you think you can...

“I think this course helped me learn how to program in a very basic and easy way and it showed me how to wire a breadboard. I think this course helps to show the basics of coding and is easy to go through and will most likely make you want to move on to a harder course because of what it teaches you. It also is a fun course with a discussion and you can contact other students or teachers.”

Jane Connolly-Spencer

“I need to be involved with folks who are just getting started in robotics. I don’t want the technical-robotic information to be over my head, yet. This is the only site I’ve ever come across that stated they were to here help a newbie.
Thank you!”

Frequently Asked Questions

If you're feeling like Learn Robotics might be right for you, the best way to see is by giving us a try. But we understand you might also have questions!

Let's see if we can clear some things up for you:

  • Who is this course for?

    Learn Robotics Mobile Robots for Beginners (Formerly Level 2: Mobile Robotics) was designed to take learners ages 13+ from knowing nothing about robots to being able to understand the robotics industry, write clean code and libraries, and build a working mobile robot from start to finish.

    Our program is simply described as "FUN" and helps you build a foundation for more advanced robotics projects later.

  • Can't I learn all of this on YouTube?

    YouTube is a fantastic resource with more free tutorials than any individual is capable of watching on improving your robotics skills

    We even produce robotics content and free tutorials for robotics hobbyists on YouTube!

    But a side effect of only learning on YouTube is that you'll waste dozens of hours learning the same thing, searching for tutorials only to find partial answers and not having precise exercises designed to help you truly learn the skills you're after.

    If you want to develop your robotics skills FAST, then Learn Robotics courses are for you.

    Plus, what is your time worth?

    This program will save you weeks of frustrating time searching for answers and rapidly increase your technology, coding, and problem-solving skills.

    For some - that's an investment well spent!

    If your time isn't worth that yet...

    ...Stick to YouTube until it is!

  • What if I'm brand new to coding, robotics, and tech?

    That's awesome! You're in the right spot. We cover the fundamentals and step-by-step process in this course. If you follow along, you'll pick up the skills!

  • Does this program use hardware parts?

    Yes, you will need to purchase parts to build your robot. The Hardware Parts are Sold Separately, but are available through Learn Robotics! We wanted to provide you with a flexible option to take this course.

    When you enroll in the course, you'll receive an exclusive discount for the Learn Robotics Kit. Check your email confirmation for instructions on how to get the kit!

    Please note there's an extra shipping fee for learners outside of the United States.

  • What do I need to take this course?

    You'll need a computer (any operating system), a Standard USB port, and an Internet connection to complete the course.

    We'll send you instructions on how to purchase the hardware materials upon enrollment (optional, but recommended).
