Sounds like great fun. I have started cobbling some info & ideas together at : http://arts-tech-creation.blogspot.com/2015/11/teaching-robotics.html Perhaps I can supply some parts as well from my junk pile. Gus in Denver Hello PIClist, We have set up a local computer club for children between the ages of 7 and 17. The idea is for beginners to start off by playing with Scratch before moving on to more games with Python. We would really like to give the kids a chance to program LEDs or maybe even a robot. I've heard of the robot Thymio and I've seen that the Raspberry Pi can be used to program a motor/robot as well. Have you had experience with these or other robotics projects? Or otherwise, what do you think are the best ways to teach LED/robotics programming to kids?
