This is the introductory level where students will build and program a Boe-Bot autonomous robot.  There are many fun activities and plenty of learning and trouble-shooting opportunities along the way.  To graduate Robotics I with a certificate, each student must program the robot to successfully navigate through a maze, and then take a verbal exam where they explain and answer questions about their program.  There's a URL for more technical information about the Boe-Bot on the Links page.
