Have you ever wanted to control a robot?  In this class, you’ll program a Finch robot to turn in circles, follow a light, and even dance!  You’ll use Scratch, a programming language that lets you move “blocks” that tell the robot what to do.  You’ll learn about input, output, sensors, and other programming basics.  During the three days, you’ll work in teams of two, building on what you learn each day.  No experience necessary!
