Overview

Student-Teacher Ratio 6:1

Welcome to the exciting world of autonomous robots! In this comprehensive course, Students will learn about the basics of robotic cars and how they operate. Students will then design and construct an autonomous vehicle utilizing the versatile and powerful Raspberry Pi single-board computer combined with various custom components including sensors and controllers.

This is a great opportunity to unleash students' creativity and technical abilities, whether they are experienced makers or just starting out. During the duration of the course, Students will become proficient at programming their robot to navigate its environment, detect obstacles, follow lines, and execute advanced algorithms. By utilizing Block coding/Python, one of the most widely used languages in robotics, students will be able to quickly grasp key programming concepts that can be applied to other applications.

There is actually no coding in this camp. They asked kids to assemble the robo cars and then disassemble it for 3 days. Use a GUI tool to drag some code logic. No python coding at all, only some python introduction. In the last day, there is almost no activity, just told kids to disassemble car they built. I regret to sign up my son for this camp. It's more like a lego engineering camp. I can purchase a lego kit which is under $100. I don't see a good value with this camp and mad of wasting time to attend this camp. I bought a raspberry pi kit in the computer center at first floor (Futurebytes is at 3rd floor) which is $170 and plan to teach my kid myself.

The owner contacted me after the class and they were willing to ensure customers are satisfied with the class. They invited my son returning to the same class and adjusted the content to match the class description. They connected the raspberry pi to a breakout board and did the GPIO control, 7 segments LEDs display and motors control using the python RPi package. Half day for Raspberry pi class and half day for python class. My son was happy with what he learnt and also there was a team project for the python. That was wonderful. The company kept their promise to ensure the satisfaction from customers. I do recommend this class!

My son Anh Minh, a fourth grader, attended the Robot Design for Rookies at Futurebytes Tech, for two weeks this summer (July 26-30 and August 2-6). It was his first time attending a summer camp focusing on this topic. He smiled from ear to ear whenever he talked with me and other people about his learning experience at the camp. Anh MInh was curious about what he had learned, such that he went to public libraries to borrow books about robot design and coding to read and practice more at home. Ms Jyothi, the owner of Futurebytes Tech, was very kind, creative, and supportive. My son greatly enjoyed working with her and other talented students. I felt thankful for the needs-based scholarship that Futurebytes Tech offered my son. Without this scholarship, ANh Minh would not have been able to attend the Robot Design for Rookies camp. Highly recommended! Quy Nguyen (Anh Minh Nguyen’s mother)

My 10 year old enjoyed this camp. He is a bit more advanced and completed the intended project early, so I appreciated that Jyothi gave him opportunities to explore and experiment with other technologies and equipment. My son especially appreciated the less-structured afternoons where he could follow his interests. He did have complaints of equipment not always working properly, but I imagine that is hard to stay on top of when you have kids handling it and perhaps offers a problem solving opportunity for the kids.
