What does the Scribbler Robot do? This robot draws (pen inserts in center), dances, plays music, flashes lights, avoids objects, follows lines, and uses sensors. But it only does what the programmer tells it to do by writing code. This course teaches how to do that with a puzzle-like graphical programming language.

Why learn to code with the Scribbler Robot? The obvious answer is because it's fun. But more than that it provides a great way to apply the math and science learned in other classes to something real. When you learn to code with this robot, you will have coding skills that can be applied to many other devices and robots.
