Workshop with Dash robots in the Hünfeld city library
The Dash robot is very easy to program and can solve small tasks. In two trial workshops, the children first learned the basics: How does the Dash work? What do you have to consider? And how can the first programs be created? After the most important techniques were explained, the children developed their own programs.
In the workshop for advanced users, for those who had already taken part in the trial course last summerit became even more challenging. Here the children were able to acquire their Dash driving license. The Dash was given a catapult that was programmed to fire small balls. The young participants clearly had fun and acquired basic technical and programming skills in a playful way, the statement continues.
Further workshops will take place in the city library during the summer holidays. The dates will be announced in good time.
