Coding & robotics is the new subject in the DBE curriculum... and the 4IR is robot powered...

So the robots are coming!

But what, how, where?

:David shares how CoderLevelUp.org are helping create a creative learning ecosystem for physical computing & robotics, from low floors to high ceilings with very wide walls.

Low floor: simulators & education bots (block based & Python) for pico and 2 wheeled robots from Microsoft Research, - with ramps: code clubs, training & community High ceilings: open source robots hosted at science institutes, being made in collab with local makers for research and development - with long ladders: sims, tutorials, challenges and hosted bots Wide walls: robots underwater, planetary Roving, in space, and even flying airships

Let's see how we can liberate robots for all!
