Workshop Offer
The department offers workshops for children in all grades, where they can get their first taste of robots and develop an enthusiasm for robotics and technology in general. No prior knowledge is required.
The workshops are designed for groups of 15 to 30 participants.
In addition, the department offers full-day introductory courses as part of the FirstSteps@RPTU program, in which students starting in 5th grade can gain insight through interactive educational robots and complete simple programming tasks.
If you are interested in the courses offered by the department, please contact Prof. Dr. Patrick Wolf by email to schedule an appointment.
Ozo Bots
For children ages 4–10, we offer a playful introduction using OzoBots. These small robots can follow lines that the children draw themselves and react to the different colors used by behaving in various ways, such as flashing or changing their speed. This allows children to learn how robots can react to changes in their environment and how simple rules can lead to complex behaviors.
Scout, the Robot Dog
For children and teens ages 14–18, we offer a course featuring the Unitree Go2 robot dog, Scout. Participants can program the robot themselves using a graphical interface by connecting pre-built behavior modules via drag-and-drop. This gives participants a first glimpse into the world of programming and allows them to experience how different behavioral structures and their connections can control a robot and enable it to perform simple tasks.
