Make A Robot with MicroPython

In this hands-on session, you’ll learn the fundamentals of robotics using MicroPython and an ESP32 microcontroller. We’ll guide you through building a simple robot that can light up LEDs and move a handmade part. The workshop covers wiring, coding, and basic motion control principles, which you can later expand to include sensors or APIs.

Important We will provide all required components for in-person participants. Remote participants will receive a shopping list of components and setup instructions in advance.
