Thymio (11-18 Years)

Please note, this course has the following pre-requisites:

Complete the listed Tier 1 pre-requisites in any order (subject to availability and scheduling):

• (1) WeDo
• (2) Mechanical Design
• (3) LittleBits Design

In this course, learners will make use of the Thymio robot and Aseba Studio.  Aseba Studio features a Visual Programming Language that learners will use to program the sensors that are built into the Thymio. Learners will program the Thymio to activate when a sound is detected using the sound sensor and then deactivate when the Thymio is touched.  Learners will make use of Thymio’s infrared sensors to detect objects at a distance, as well as programming the Thymio to perform different actions depending on which sensor is triggered.

Learners who have completed the Thymio course have the opportunity to join the 2021 Thymio to Mars remote collaborative event, which will be held on Friday, 21 May between 13h30 and 17h00 at the CodeABot Centre.  Follow the link to learn more about this annual event.
