Course Overview

This Tuborial will primarily consist of teaching you how to build your own remote-control car. You will receive your car coding kit in the post as part of the course price, the kit and the video instructions will give you everything you need to complete the course (apart from an Android mobile phone).

The car kit acts as a fun and engaging introduction to the world of coding, robotics and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering Arts and Maths).

Learners will experience first-hand how to build a basic robotic device, being a remote-controlled car. They will then learn the basics of C++, build an electrical circuit out of modular components and  simple strips of C++ computer code to programme a microcontroller and a free smartphone application to be able to control the vehicle.

Learners are able to decorate and customize their cars before taking them for a spin!
