Project

During my stay at Faber I will keep working in utilities and activities design concerning the robot we created at Citilab, in order to increase its educational possibilities.

For this purpose, I value the opportunity to exchange views with different teachers and to collaborate with the designers of the microBlocks programming environment, with which the robot’s printed circuit board is programmed.
