Getting Wired with the Sunburst Robot Takeover Camp
So what is this Robot Takeover Camp anyway?
We are going to work together as a group to build a robot that will actually play music! Then we are going to compose pieces of music and learn how to program the robot to play those compositions. The robot will take center stage during the end of the week performance!
