CSTA Chapter Workshop - Dan White Roboco - Use Roboco for computer science instruction!

RoboCo is a new sandbox game (developed by Filament Games in partnership with FIRST) that teaches robotics and engineering. In the game, players build and program custom robots to solve whimsical challenges. This workshop will demonstrate the capabilities of the game and offer best practices for teaching with it, including how to run your very own robotics competition! We'll also show the in-game scaffolding for new players, the robot building functionality, how to attach sensors to a robot, and how to program a robot to solve a challenge using Python. At the end, we'll show some examples of advanced creations and programming solutions. For more information, check out www.roboco.co
