Python GoPiGo Robot workshop

Background Following on from our Scratch Robot Workshop we’ve been running a second workshop that allows our students to apply some of the Python skills gained from previous Code Club World projects. This workshop lets students connect to the GoPiGo robot to read and understand example scripts, and also see how abstraction is used to simply programming using functions. The information gathered by learning to reverse-engineer existing scripts is used to creat their own script, using sensors to gather information from the robot’s environment and allow it to perform various tasks.
