AI Skills Lab: Peer Support Robotics Edition

17th March to 25th March
The AI Skills Lab: Robotics Edition is part of our peer-support workshop series and is a beginner-friendly, hands-on workshop series designed to introduce learners to robotics, computer vision, and artificial intelligence in a clear, practical, and engaging way.

Across four interactive sessions, you will explore how robots move, sense, see, and make decisions, using real hardware and real code, but without needing any prior technical experience.

The programme moves from core robotics and motor control, to computer vision using cameras and Python, before bringing systems together and introducing machine learning concepts, including real-world uses, limitations, and ethics.

Each workshop is highly practical, with live demonstrations, group activities, and guided build tasks that make complex ideas accessible. You will be encouraged to explain concepts in their own words, building confidence as well as technical understanding.

This series is ideal for:

  • Beginners and first-time coders
  • Students curious about AI, robotics, or tech careers
  • Anyone who wants to understand AI beyond the buzzwords

By the end of the programme, you will not only have built and tested a working robot, but will also be able to clearly explain how modern robotic and AI systems work in the real world.
