Overview

You will receive our custom robotics kit including an Arduino, which you will build along during the class using the same curriculum that we teach to Palo Alto High School and Monta Vista High School engineering students via a partnership with the schools [see News Article 1, News Article 2] . The content is designed to introduce robotics and electronics concepts in the most intuitive manner in a short amount of time. No prior knowledge of coding, electronics, or robotics is required.

At the end of the session, you will have made a small robot completely by yourself and you will fully understand how it works, including how simple IOT circuits are made on a breadboard, and how to setup and program an Arduino for basic tasks.

Goals

Our goal for doing this free class is to help you decide if you want to pursue learning robotics more deeply. Adults can choose from build-at-home kits and in-person workshops. For students 17 and below you can choose to sign-up for our continued afterschool STEM Robotics Program or for the highly in-demand Summer 2021 Robotics Program. These programs also function as an internship pathway for high-school students as they prepare college applications.

The Arduino, robotics kit, and learned knowledge is yours to enjoy even if you don't sign-up for anything.

Instructor

The class will be taught by our head instructor at Evodyne Academy, who is also the CEO at Evodyne Robotics.

- ex-eBay Research Scientist

- 2x Founder of Bay Area Startups

- 20 granted patents

- LinkedIn

Kit Pickup/Delivery

Once you sign-up for this class, you can pick-up the kit for free at 881 Castro St, Mountain View, CA 94041. The third storefront on the right after turning onto Castro from El Camino Real.

If you want the kit shipped, there is a $5 shipping charge.

What You Need

A Mac, Windows or Linux laptop with sufficient free disk space. If you have a newer Mac or Windows laptop with only USB-C ports, you must have a USB-C to USB-female adapter so you can connect the Arduino to your laptop.

Zoom Attendance

Meeting info will be emailed to you before the class.

In-Person Attendance

- Face Mask is an absolute must, and it must be worn properly at all times.

- Hand sanitizer, Gloves, and Lysol wipes will be provided.

- There are very few spots open for in-person because of social distancing, reserve soon!

About Us

Evodyne Robotics is a startup building personal and educational robots in silicon valley. Our goal is to improve the awareness of robotics as a future career path for parents and students. The curriculum has been designed by our CEO, and classes are taught by robotics experts with years of industry expertise in designing and building robots from scratch. Instead of buying off-the-shelf "robotic kits" and quickly assembling for short term play, our approach is to start by teaching the lower level concepts that are necessary to understand why specific design decisions were taken the way they were. And to give students a rounded introduction to everything that goes into making intelligent robots, including programming, 3D design, 3D printing, electronics, computer vision, deep learning and so on.
