Curriculum Outline

What and why you’ll be going through to learn the foundations of robotics.

Design 1

• CAD is the foundation to all of our robots. To begin designing we must learn the basics of using Onshape to make parts.

Fabrication 1

• You can breakdown any robot into simple parts fastened together. Before worrying about complex tools, we will focus on learning the basics of hand tools.
